Talk:Adrienne Barbeau

message: Can anyone verify the information presented regarding Barbeau's first meeting with her husband (79-84) John Carpenter?  It seems highly unlikely that they 'met' on the set of a 1978 movie.  I say this because Barbeau was a featured player in Carpenter's film "Escape from New York".  While this film was released to theatres in 1981, the majority of the footage was shot in 1976/7 in East St. Louis (after a large fire swept through the unfortunate community).  The burned out East St. Louis was substituted for "Manhattan Prison".  It seems more likely that they met in 1976 (or before), not 1978. Posthocergopropterhoc 16:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Yamla took it out of the cats, but we still have it in the article when we define her father as French-Canadian, correct? Michael 00:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but French-Canadian means a person who lives in Canada and speaks French (more or less).  Their ancestry could be entirely British.  Or more likely, they have a French relative perhaps four to eight generations back.  Additionally, even if the father was half French, that would make Barbeau only one quarter French, not generally enough to categorise her as a French American.  --Yamla 00:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Barbeau did say she herself was "half French" in her book. This is cited in List of French-Americans. Even though she doesn't refer to herself as "French", I suppose identifying as "half French" seems enough to call her French (American). Mad Jack 00:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm - maybe never mind - the soure on the French page was from an article that just called her "half French Canadian". In her book, she says she has a "French nose", citing her father's side. But she doesn't actually call herself French (though she does call herself "Armenian"), so maybe the categories are fine as they are now. Mad Jack 00:27, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, as of now, it's not mentioned, Jack.  I didn't know if you saw that change. Michael 01:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: On this page it is stated that Adrienne Barbeau's marriage to John Carpenter was from 1979 to 1990:
*In the infobox it states: "John Carpenter (m. 1979–1990)"
*In the "Personal Life" section it states: "Barbeau was married to director John Carpenter from January 1, 1979 to 1990."
On Adrienne Barbeau's page however, it states that their marriage lasted from 1979 to 1984:
*In the infobox it states: "Adrienne Barbeau (1979–1984)"
*In the "Personal Life" section it states: "Carpenter was married to Barbeau from January 1, 1979, to 1984."
One of these pages obviously has the information wrong. Burbridge92 (talk) 21:33, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
