Talk:Betty Hutton

message: Kristin Hersh (singer/songwriter of Throwing Muses and more) knew Betty in the mid-80s, and is writing about her on the mailing list at http://list.throwingmusic.com/mailman/listinfo/news. I can't find archives online, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.166.147.34 (talk) 21:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I am looking for evidence that Betty Hutton recorded a song called "Blow A Fuse" rather than "It's Oh So Quiet". I have found no reliable source that backs this up. Labalius (talk) 20:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: This sentence needs to be confirmed and/or clarified: "She also appeared on Good Morning America which led to a 1978 televised reunion with her two daughters." It implies Hutton only has two daughters, but she has three. Did she have a televised reunion with two of her daughters or with all three? Since the reunion was not on GMA but another unspecified show, I'm unable to find video (if available) to clarify this myself. Perhaps someone who edits this page regularly will be able to help.

thread_title:  Confirm reunion with daughters in 1978 

message: "Unfortunately, box office receipts indicated the public didn't want to see a subdued Hutton." That's quite a stretch, to get such a detailed opinion of what the public wanter from Hutton simply from box-office receipts, which are affected by dozens upon dozens of different factors. Sounds like a baseless assumption, and maybe even origianl research. Certainly not encyclopedic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.253.64 (talk) 18:28, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

message: An IP address editor has twice changed the death date in the article to March 11th, while leaving the citation at the end of the sentence that states March 12th. The text and the reference really should agree. Trying to sort this out, this is what I found.
* Her gravestone says March 12th, and there is an image of the gravestone in the article. This is probably also the source of the date in the PDF file from the Palm Springs Cemetery that has been used as the reference in the article for her birth and death dates. 
* The New York Times obituary, published on March 14th (Wednesday), says she passed away "Sunday night", which was March 11th. 
* The AP obituary doesn't have a clear death date: "The death was confirmed Monday by a friend of Hutton who spoke only on condition of anonymity, citing her wishes that her death be announced at a specified time by the executor of her estate, Carl Bruno. The source refused to provide further details including the time and cause of death." 
* The Guardian first published their obituary with March 12th as the death date, then corrected it to the 11th a week later: 
So, we need to pick a date, and then use a reference that matches that date. It doesn't look to be a clear-cut fact; why did the estate announce the 11th and then put the 12th on the gravestone? -- Foetusized (talk) 16:29, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I gave up on anyone responding to this, so I transferred much of the text above into a long note to go in the article's references -- Foetusized (talk) 18:52, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
