thread_title: Sexuality

message: I found some statements that speculate about the sexual orientation of living persons, of persons OTHER THAN the subject of this biographical entry. To use the biography of a dead person to propagate rumors about the sexual orientation of a living person seems like a bad faith attempt to circumvent the policy for Biographies of Living Persons (WP:BLP). One key source was a TV show that is not accessible. There seems no way to verify that certain things allegedly broached in that show were indeed broached, and to verify what the exact statements were. Anyway, the statements I deleted were not probative for the question of Agnes Moorehead's sexual orientation. For example, the sentiment of a "friend" that she was not gay because she was deeply religious is illogical and also quaint (forty years ago, many people could believe that devout Christians wouldn't be gay, but in the 21st century, everybody knows better).

message: Lets hear more about her son.
======how about a photo of her as a young woman?
Is a publicity photo ok to post?  
http://www.angelfire.com/yt/Weston/images/agnes.jpg
She was quite pretty, and rather vain about it, "back in the day"
Yeah, a picture of a younger version of her would be excellent. But are you sure this is a promotional shot? -Tim Rhymeless  (Er...let's shimmy) 09:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  more on Sean 

message: I read on this website that Agnes Moorehead was a heavy smoker some time ago, and asked that it be removed. I knew her, and I can guarentee she was NOT a smoker. I do not know who posted this info in her bio, but a lot of it is not correct (she never adopted Sean, he was just a Foster son) but it is most upsetting to suggest that her death had anything to do with smoking - she was a non-smoker her whole life. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.113.202.211 (talk) 23:01, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Everywhere where I've gone to investigate the "Conqueror Disaster" where there has been a remark at all about smoking, Moorehead has been cited as having been a heavy smoker.  If you can indeed establish by cite your relationship to her, then perhaps your argument can be made. SkoreKeep (talk) 22:46, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article protected - vandalism target 

message: The article says she was an only child, then later in the same paragraph alludes to her sister.  Which is it???
It says her mother lived 1883-1990 and listed the age as 97.  In that case she would have been 107.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cromwellj (talk • contribs) 02:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible error 

message: The early life section seems to contradict itself, indicating that she's an only child, then later referring to her sister. Can somebody with access to the source book verify? —C.Fred (talk) 23:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only child? 

message: Material on Moorehead's homosexuality has been deleted from the article on spurious grounds that the sources are hollywood gossip books.  This is not the case; the sources are all reliable books published by mainstream publishers and university presses. It is not libelous to state that Moorehead had a reputation for lesbianism -- this is supported by reliable sources. This information should not be deleted without due discussion on the talk page and the achievement of a consensus. --Jburlinson (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Once again, repeated attempts have been made by an editor to delete this material.  This time, though, there is no rationale given as to why the section is being summarily zapped out.  If anyone has any problem with what currently appears in the article about Moorehead's sexuality, they should bring their concerns to this talk page before they start arbitrarily deleting sections of the article.  Thanks to the two editors who have reverted the attempted cuts. --Jburlinson (talk) 22:49, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moorehead's sexuality 

message: I read somewhere many years ago about star's who hid the fact that they were black, part black or had ancestors who were black, but of course looked white.  Agnes Moorehead's name was on the list. Now it is nowhere to be found about this information.  Is this true or not?

thread_title:  Was Agnes Moorehead Part Black 

message: Wikipedia says that Agnes Moorehead graduated from Muskingum College in 1923. It seems that it is a possible error because she appears in the college yearbook of 1923 as a Junior Student and in 1924 as a Senior Student. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.103.218.214 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moorhead's graduation year error?... 

message: On the Help Desk, an IP editor left a note saying that AM was a guest in an episode of Password_(game_show) and said she was born in Cambridge (MA), not Clinton, though she grew up in Clinton. If true, I would say that is enough to overturn the current birthplace sourcing (Encyclopedia Britannica). I have no idea how to locate that episode, though.

message: Agnes Morehead is not buried in Dayton Memorial Park. She is buried at Woodland Cemetary close to downtown Dayton. 
I grew up in Dayton and have seen her burial site many times, as my Grandmother is buried there also. 99.196.6.219 (talk) 20:36, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

message: In talking about her mother, this article states: "who was 17 when she was born." Now, that's impressive...bet it was painful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:380:63E0:0:0:0:E5ED (talk) 13:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Really? 

message: The article currently says that Moorehead's foster son Sean was "né John Griffith Lee." How can that be possible? John Griffith Lee was her first husband. Surely if her foster son was born with her husband's name, there'd be a source for that. Or the son wasn't related at all to the husband and just happened to be born with his name?
