Talk:Rebecca De Mornay

message: The Rebecca De Mornay character on Seinfeld also appeared in the "Homeless Rickshaw/ Uncle Leo the Shoplifter" episode as the "book store clerk" and in the episode where Elaine has to pretend to be a janitor to use the janitor's closet as the address for her chinese food delivery. De Mornay (the character) was Elaine's custodial boss.
Sonya Eddy played De Mornay in all three episodes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.216.120 (talk) 2006-03-15 19:56:45
: Probably better to describe the character on Seinfeld as "a character coincidently named Rebecca De Mornay" as clearly the character is not portraying "the" Rebecca De Morney as in the famous actress from Risky Business, etc. Indeed, given that the Seinfeld character is played by a heavyset black woman, it is clear that her name was chosen as a joke.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:300:7520:914A:893A:2DDC:D567 (talk) 17:32, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

:Reference added.  Still need a reliable source for "St. Johann in Tirol" though; all the ones I've found are those usual slapdash biographies which either seem to be cut-and-paste from this Wikipedia article itself (without attribution or references, of course) or something like that.  IMDb bio is interesting but not authoritative; I can't really tell if parts of the IMDb bio was sourced from the Wikipedia article, or vice-versa. --Closeapple (talk) 06:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I have reverted recent additions - there is no access to the california birth record, and I see such sources as WP:OR and similar to investigative reporting, truth is, there is in the press and print differences in reports of her birth, there is imo nothing wrong with that and in reporting that we are doing our job - reporting what independent reports say. I also removed this cite as imo it is not WP reliable http://www.mademan.com/chickipedia/rebecca-de-mornay/ - feel free to discuss and convince me otherwise, thanks.

replies: text: Good lord this is fail-tastic.  IMDb says 1959, while the ref next to the DOB section says age 45 (so 1965) or age 48 (1962) in 2010 (and since it's December, +/-1 year).  Almost tempted to go ask a publicist or something for this information. hbdragon88 (talk) 02:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

message: http://movies.nytimes.com/person/17592/Rebecca-De-Mornay/biography lists the place of birth as Los Angeles, while the article currently says Santa Rosa.  I ran across this as part of another discussion involving multiple sources regarding birth years, so this is an FYI.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:46, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: See the discussions above and the reference. The birth record says Santa Rosa, and that is consistent with other sources we have. --Ronz (talk) 22:24, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The source you cite appears to say "Sonoma" County, saying nothing about "Santa Rosa".  Note that the NYT in this diff shows that when retrieved on December 10, 2010, NYT showed the year of birth as 1961.  Now, two years later, they show the year of birth as 1959.  This means that they are actively maintaining the data.  We also are using this article as a reliable reference for other facts on the article page.  Here is the edit that moved "Santa Rosa" into the body of the article, but the source appears to be the hidden "Persondata" template.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: My mistake. The birth record makes Los Angeles an impossibility, but doesn't confirm Santa Rosa. I wonder if the editor still watches this article. --Ronz (talk) 02:05, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Since the BLP issues have been ongoing for quite a long time and they started up as soon as the previous protection lapsed, I've reprotected the article for another 3 months. If it continues from there, then I'll just indef protect it. This has been going on since at least 2010, so if it keeps up then that's a good rationale for an indef semi-protection.

replies: text: People who claim to be herself or her step-brother insist on making changes to this article that do not necessarily conform with Wikipedia standards. They even wrote me to my private email about this. I suggest that 1. they read WP:COI and other fundamental Wikipedia policies and guidelines. 2. Any change they want to make to this article they should discuss here first. That will avoid a lot of unpleasantness. Debresser (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

text: *I've still got this on my watchlist (the protections lapsed yesterday, I believe) and a warning to anyone coming in to re-add this content: I am ready to indefinitely protect the article if it comes to that and since this has been ongoing since 2010, there's reason for me to indef this.

#16 (Winnipeg Free Press): merely states he was her "one-time fiance" without indicating time period or evidence of an engagement
#17 (Interview Magazine): lede there introduces interviewer Cohen as her "companion" not fiance
#18 and #19 (LeonardCohencroatia web site): bogus, probably inserted by someone who couldn't find a reliable source. Neither 18 nor 19 includes terms such as "Genesis" and "Rebecca". Martindo (talk) 10:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
