Talk:Mary Kay Ash

message: Regarding birthdate, which is questioned: Like many women, she probably got younger as she aged (that is, she lied by giving a more recent birthdate as it became necessary: One source, probably documenting this at a late stage, is the Social Security Death Index, which shows a "Mary K. [sic] Ash" with a SSN of 465-40-5167 who last resided in Dallas, Texas, as having been born on 12 May 1918 and dying 22 November 2001. Her SSN was issued in Texas before 1951. So that's at least one citable source for "a" birthdate, though one that will need to be reconsidered if variant dates are found sprinkled about other documents. - Nunh-huh 08:20, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I delete the reference to Harvard Business School. If there is any evidence from a source other than Mary Kay (Corporate) and/or Mary Kay Consultants, that any of the books that Mary Kay wrote have been used in any business course, then it can be added back.

message: This article as presently written makes Mary Kay Ash seem like a sort of saint. Even if she was a wonderful person, it still seems a bit over the top. Anyone who was the subject of a TV movie entitled "Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay" has to have been more interesting than that. I don't know enough about the subject myself, however, to take this one on. --A. B. 13:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: * Husband # 1: Julius Ben Rogers, Jr: 1935 - 1944(?) : They divorced either right after he came back, or whilst he was still overseas;
* Husband # 2: Clarence Blair Eckman : 1945 - June 1947 : He died:
* Husband # 3: Charles Weaver : 1952 (?) - 1961 (?) : They divorced;
* Husband # 4: George Arthur Hallenbeck : July 1963 - August 1963 : He died;
* Husband # 5: Melville Jerome Ash : 1966 - 1980 : He died;
For the exact dates, one needs to search the Texas death, marriage and divorce records. http://www.pinktruth.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1993:mary-kay-ashs-missing-marriages&catid=42:general-mary-kay-information&Itemid=63

replies: text: It is possible that she used her older name since the marriage to Hallenbeck was so brief. No remarriage to Weaver is required. --Bejnar (talk) 06:58, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Her Husbands 

message: "She later married the brother of Mary C. Crowley, founder of Home Interiors and Gifts." 
Does this brother spouse have a name or is he an appendage of his sister Mary? Does having a noteworthy relative justify redacting a person's name? I might not have brought it up but that it caused confusion reading the next paragraph - wondering if the husband mentioned in that paragraph, George Hallenbeck, was the same person as previously unsigned Brother of Mary C.. Is George the same person as Mary's brother? One can't tell without doing further research. For that matter the same sentence, "She later married the brother of Mary C. Crowley, founder of Home Interiors and Gifts.", is in itself ambiguous as to whether the brother or Mary C. is the founder of '"Home Interiors and Gifts"... but let that go, common sense leads towards the probable conclusion. 
Upon visiting this talk page to make this note I see how convoluted the entire subject of spousal succession is to the topic of Mary K and I wish you all the best of luck in making sense of it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:268:C145:CB27:E80F:2ED3:35E1:842 (talk) 02:28, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarity?

message: The article states "While her husband served in World War II, she sold books door-to-door. After her husband's return in 1938, they divorced" This is not possible since World War II did not start for the United States until December 7th, 1941. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurtfetherolf (talk • contribs) 00:17, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
