Talk:Elizabeth Arden

message: I deleted the edit of 12:59, 17 August 2005 by Anonymous user 195.194.74.112. that says she was born England. She is documented by many sources as born in Canada, including the Elizaberth Arden Inc. corporate website here. - Ted Wilkes 21:03, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: There is some argument about where Elizabeth Arden was actually born. There is some evidence that she was actually born in Hayle, Cornwall, UK where she was the daughter of Mr Graham, a local chemist. She is said to have emegrated with her parents to Canada when a young child. She may have assumed Cannadian nationality for commercial reasons.
Comments appreciated.

thread_title: Place of birth query

message: I have a source that indicates the following:
* Arden was born in 1884 (in Woodbridge, not UK)
* she had four brothers and one sister
* she moved to Toronto at the age of 18 (in 1892), and New York at 24 (in 1908)
This seems to conflict with information currently in the article. However, the article states she moved to New York at the age of 30, which implies 1908 given the date of birth indicated. Does anybody have references for what's cited? The only thing not in dispute of the above data is that she moved to NY in 1908.
Second, is the phrase "In 1915 she married Thomas J. Lewis, a banker, thus becoming an American citizen." correct. Is (or was) American citizenship automatically conferred upon marriage, or must one apply for it after marriage? I thought it was the latter. Mindmatrix 15:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says she was born in 1878 but the photo of her grave's footsone says 1877. Handicapper (talk) 13:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Elizabeth Arden's inscription reads only "Elizabeth N Graham 1966"--no year of birth. However, she shares the footstone (graves can be double depth in that section of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery) with Lillian Graham (1877-1961). SHC (talk) 01:44, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Company

message: I read in the german Wiki that Elizabeth Arden's first marriage was a fictitious marriage because she was much more interested in women. If she was a lesbian, it could be mentioned when writing about her marriage. If she wasn't, the german wiki should delete this sentence. Ah - I think I'll write on the discussion side in german wiki too.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.22.5.40 (talk) 10:12, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

message: How could she have dropped out of school in 1884 if she was born the last day of that year?  Can anyone explain that? 12.41.204.3 (talk) 15:34, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Whoever wrote the "Innovations" section was being pretty partisan, don't you think? I'll make a note and see if I can find time to come back and do some editing. It's a little embarassing -- "some cheap shampoos"?

message: I'm trimming this article. The majority of the article lists no sources, apart from "Famous Firsts of Scottish Americans" and "Frommer's Guide to Toronto," both of which are used for a brief paragraph at the beginning. The majority of the article has absolutely no other citations. It's hard to believe there are no biographies or Arden. Some credible source must be foundCatherinejarvis (talk) 19:56, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
