Fanny Brice

[edit]

The "stub" on Henry Street in the East Side of Lower Manhattan has an incorrect statement. Fanny Brice did not grow up on Henry Street. She was born into a middle class Hungarian family that owned a chain of saloons in Newark, NJ. She was not a child of the tenements as the Broadway show "Funny Girl" depicts. After her parents split up, her mother moved the family to various nice apartments and townhouses in Brooklyn where she was successful in real estate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.137.128.43 (talk) 15:42, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since the statement was unsourced anyway, I've removed it fromthe article. BMK (talk) 16:39, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
