Removed Spoilers

[edit]

I've removed these spoilers. (a) This is a place for discussing the life and works of Alida Valli, not just a dump of the plots of the movies she was in, (b) they take up FAR, FAR, FAR, too much space to enable any serious debate of relevant subjects. JackofOz 00:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalizing

[edit]

I think that 24.8.11.15 has vandalized this article, so I reinstate the previous text. Hektor 08:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

English language career

[edit]

I rephrased the line that said that she "owed" her Hollywood career to Selznick; I find it both somewhat unverifiable and possibly unfair. Naphra 16:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Third Man

[edit]

Hardly a Hollywood movie. Or am I in a total muddle? —80.2.208.14 23:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Singularity

[edit]

Why did she use her surname instead of her full name?Lestrade (talk) 23:54, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

Maybe because she did not want to be considered an austrian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.6.131.228 (talk) 03:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does the name "Alida" have to do with Austria? Nothing.Lestrade (talk) 17:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]

You were talking about her surname, which is indeed austrian. But maybe I did not understand your question.

Question: Why did she want to be called Valli instead of Alida Valli? That is very strange and eccentric. You wouldn't know if Valli was the name of a man, woman, pet, or geographical location.Lestrade (talk) 13:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]
As I understand it, it was not her idea to be known by a single name and in fact she was annoyed by the idea. Supposedly Selznick thought she would seem more exotic if known by only one name. She didn't like the idea. In Italy she was known by her full stage name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.191.251.196 (talk) 01:48, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Her title

[edit]

The lede says she was:

  • Alida Maria von Altenburger baroness von Markenstein und Frauenberg of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire

The text says she was:

  • Baroness Alida Maria Laura Altenburger von Marckenstein-Frauenberg of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.

I don’t believe either of these, but can we at least make them say the same thing? So many discrepancies in such a few words:

  • Alida Maria vs. Alida Maria Laura
  • Markenstein und Frauenberg vs Markenstein-Frauenberg
  • Holy Roman Germanic Empire vs. Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.

Let's fix this extraordinary rubbish up. -- Jack of Oz [Talk] 20:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
