Talk:America Ferrera

message: hey...i went to the link below that's supposed to be a fansite for America. While i guess it is, it's http://www.bonkablebeauties.com/females/AmericaFerrera/ so my question is...is bonkablebeauties a good site for listing on the wikipedia article?

message: It is incredible common to misspell her last name as specified above.  Can someone create a redirect from that misspelling to this article?  Thx and best.  --64.230.120.63 22:24, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Someone keeps changing this to indicate Ferrera was not critical of President Bush in her Spirit Awards speech and removing the reference to Zach Braff's expressed displeasure with those comments.  I think by downplaying this issue you do 'America' a disservice, negating her specifically expressed opinion and any political sway she might have over her fans.  Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.232.222.5 (talk • contribs).
:While most people can reasonably conclude her comment was about Bush, you can't write that she said "America won't be free until Bush leaves office" because that would be putting words in her mouth (she didn't use Bush's name);original research isn't allowed on Wikipedia. This is why I wrote it was "interpreted" as being against Bush (because that's what the newsbusters link did). And using words like "disparaged" and "bashed" are POV aswell. And it isn't self-evident that Zach Braff "expressed displeasure" either; To me, he appeared to be to be pretty nonchalant (but i'm not going to write that in the text since that's my own POV). What was clear is that some in the audience clapped/cheered, but it's a trivial detail either way. Crumbsucker 15:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: America was in a skit on the Chappelle's Show on the first episode of season two. i think it was back in 2004. I don't know what character she played but if someone does it should be added to the list.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siwhat (talk • contribs) 23:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Filmography/Television

message: I noticed that a commercial was listed in her filmography. Are commercials normally listed as part of an actor's filmography? It seems pretty trivial to me. Cogswobbletalk 16:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

message: first paragraph in personal life reads more like a tabloid than an encyclopedia. Especially the part that mentions a rumor they are engaged. It would suffice to just say he is her boyfriend and they are living together.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.166.188.248 (talk) 02:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  personal life 

message: The following sentence in the lead:
She is one of only four actresses to receive an Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award in the same year for the same series.
is a bit confusing given the mention of her role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in the previous sentence. Those movies also starred 4 actresses so the mention of "one of only four actresses" in the very next sentence is likely to lead confusion as some may think that the four actresses referenced are her co-stars in the Traveling Pants movies, as opposed to four totally unrelated actresses, i.e., belonging to an exclusive club of 4 actresses as opposed to being the most successful of the 4 co-stars from Traveling Pants movies. So, I suggest that the sentence make the distinction or name the four actresses, or perhaps shift the sentence up or better yet, expand the section putting the sentence away from the Traveling Pants sentence.--RossF18 (talk) 19:24, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In the beginning it lists her middle name as Georgine, and then a little ways down says she went by her middle name of "Georgina" in high school. WHich is it? 68.80.193.195 (talk) 21:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Middle Name - article contradicts itself 

message: I can't find a reliable citation to this quote:
Her co-star, Eric Mabius, has regularly said of her, "She's only 24 and will take over the planet in a few years time!"
I would be grateful if anyone could help me out. Thanks. Minimac (talk) 16:42, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

message: So the source provided for her middle name being "Georgine" was a primary source, the California Birth Index.. This is contradicted by Ferrera herself, who states in the archive of the "Gotham Magazine" interview: "So I used my middle name, Georgina." Here's the archive: . The middle name "Georgina" is further backed up by other sources such as archives of her Biography.com article, TV Guide and archives of her Yahoo! Movies profile
EDIT: Looking at the Biography.com archives, in 2012, they only gave her middle name as "Georgine",, which would back up the primary source (California Birth Index) mentioned above. But in the later 2018 archive, they give both "Georgina" and "Georgine". Still, several other sources seem to back up "Georgina", and Ferrera herself claims that "Georgina" is her middle name. So until other sources can be provided, I'm going to keep it at "Georgina".
