Talk:Suze Rotolo

message: No point in removing Charles Flato factoid. Digby
::This little POV rant by an anonymous user is quite bizzare, "The elder Rotolos also were acquainted with people named Goldstien, Miller, Steinberg, Zuckerman, and many others smeared by the McCarthyite libel machine."
I don't know what this person is trying to prove but it is obvious they don't like reference to Charlie Flato, the Soviet spy and Rotolo's family. Just because it took the files of the Soviet Union to be available before Flato was discovered to be a spy does not mean that he wasn't. apparently the government didn't do enough because I would have loved to see this little dwarf strung up for his being a traitor to his country! So old Joe McCarthy didn't do enough to catch these traitorous spies.
If the anon thinks that people are trying to trash the Rotolo family I don't believe that is so. Otherwise the Communist Party would be much more prominent in the article wouldn't it? Anyway, the stuff about Flato is in the Flato article. Digby 14:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a point in removing it, because having it there makes it seem as thought the fact that they knew someone who has been accused of being a spy was the single most important thing about the Rotolo family. Does Suze mention him in her autobio? If not, then, her parentsshould probably not be posthumously defamed by the insinuation that her parents, too, were spies. This is certainly trashing the Rotolos. Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence? Mballen (talk) 06:49, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Suze states that in the 1930's her mother worked as a communist agent supplying false papers to Italians so that they could be smuggled out of Italy and fight for the communists in Spain. So being friends with another communist agent in the likes of Flato makes sense. Thanks to Suze for putting the pieces together for us. Digby (talk) 01:57, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The below information has been removed twice by an anonymous user using an IP:Adress from WGBH in Allston, Massachusetts. Why would someone who works for Public Television be censoring an article? I'm totally confused. I thought that we were suppose to be against censorship! Flipsod2 19:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Although it is relatively common for someone to feel depressed and suicidal after having an abortion, what is the source that Rotolo attempted suicide after having her abortion? If this cannot be sourced then it would be appropriate to remove this reference from the article especially since the subject is presumably still living. Dwain 18:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I have to say that I am irked by the information that Suze Rotolo apparently claims in her book that her uncle Peter Pezzati was a believer in Mussolini and Fascism. Never once did I ever hear Peter say anything favorable about Mussolini or Fascism. He'd talk about art, literature, architecture, music, travel and history and like his father could speak half a dozen languages. He was the closet thing to a genius I've ever encountered.
If true that Suze would say what is claimed, giving the impresssion that he of was a follower of Mussolini and a Fascist, I'm angry and perplexed. Peter always was very nice to her and spoke well about her. Why would she suggest such a thing and propogate such a myth to readers? I realize that many hippies believed anyone who didn't subscribe to their political views was a Facist but this is just too much.
Peter served in the U.S. Army during W.W. II illustrating manuals and painting war posters. He even was heard on Boston radio supporting the war effort. Her suggestion that he was a "believer" in Fascism and Mussolini is an out and out fabrication, which makes me wonder what else she isn't truthful about in her book.

message: What is the value of reporting illness if the illness is not specified?  I suggest wiki contributors should attempt to determine exact causes of death rather than publishing vague statements.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.14.106 (talk) 19:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
