message: Hello, my name is Hardy Villwock. I am from Flensburg, Germany. I just saw again the movie "Start the Revolution Without Me"(german translated), directed by Bud Yorkin 1970. Main roles by Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland. This is just such a great comedy in it's best meaning and Billie Whitelaw is playing the Queen Marie of the French Revolution. For me her appearance in this movie must be mentioned. This is only a suggestion.
Many greetings from Germany and a wonderful 2010, Hardy Villwock.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.144.235.117 (talk) 21:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

message: There seems to be objection to the idea that Whitelaw was involved in the staging of Krapp's Last Tape. Whitelaw's biography Whitelaw...Who He? talks about their collaboration. Magee's name maybe on the first page of the play but I can't see why this would have anything to do with Whitelaw's involvement in the staging. Span (talk) 20:44, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have her autobiography to hand. If she was involved in the staging, state how, citing the book and not a web source. Simply saying she 'collaborated' with Beckett on it sounds like she was in the play, which she never was. Even if true it doesn't belong in the same sentence as Not I or Happy Days, which were written for her. 68.39.245.46 (talk) 21:41, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Saying she 'collaborated' with Beckett is not to say she was in it. That's not what ' collaborate' means. The web source is reliable enough. Span (talk) 22:39, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

text: If you have her own source, why not quote it and elaborate on it? 'Collaborate' is vague, especially when placed beside plays that were written for her. The web source is a secondary bio-blurb based on this page, with no standard for verification. If you can quote the primary source, do it. 68.39.245.46 (talk) 16:22, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

message: It is claimed that she made her stage debut at the age of 18 and that she acted (on stage) while still in high school.  Is that a contradiction? 31.52.254.202 (talk) 17:58, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: She made her London stage debut at 18. I've amended the article accordingly. Crisso (talk) 11:51, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction? 

message: Article says she trained at RADA whereas her autobiography states, more than once, that she never went to drama school. Also she acted at the Civic Theatre/Playhouse, Bradford whilst still at school.

replies: text: Her enrty in the ODNB mentions nothing about RADA either so, as it's also unsourced, I will delete mention of it from the article. Crisso (talk) 11:40, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
