Birth data

[edit]

There's a number of sources (reliable?) that report her being born on 2 April 1933 or 1934; or in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. Here's a source that has both of those things. Any ideas where these alternative histories come from? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 20:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rabaul

[edit]

Her parents were medical specialists in Rabaul, at the time. The mother may have travelled to Brisbane for the birth. 220.244.238.166 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:44, 31 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

But we're saying she was born in Mooloolaba, quite some distance from Brisbane. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 12:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

[edit]

Wasn't "The Angel who pawned her harp" the last film Diane Cilento made before having a nose job?

Souldn't the photographic section read Actress and Authoress?AT Kunene (talk) 15:29, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She is survived by her children

[edit]

Seriously? Remove this crap. I was confused and thought she was kept on life support by the whim of her children. "Survived by her children" is sentimental, not literal, and doesn't belong on Wikipedia. 121.222.33.32 (talk) 20:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

When someone dies, it's a perfectly standard thing to mention who in their family is left. This could include: one or both parents; the current spouse and/or any number of ex-spouses; one or more of their children; grandchildren etc. I don't see how you could possibly read life support into this. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 20:53, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Connery: Barbara Walters interview.

[edit]

Without citing a source, the article currently states: "However, there is a video interview with Barbara Walters where Connery said he has not changed his opinion and if it is merited, it's okay to slap a woman."

Googling turns up potential sources such as Newsweek and news.com.au articles. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources states that, post-2013, Newsweek should not be considered generally reliable. I don't have any personal familiarity with news.com.au on which to base a judgement of its reliability.
