replies: text: Yes, Kline's French is pretty good, with only just a hint of American accent. Since I didn't know the actor, he fooled me the first time I saw French Kiss. Kline speaks French again in the movie la Joueuse. Maybe this article can be used as a reference:  http://www.cinematical.com/2008/03/30/kevin-kline-turns-french-for-real-this-time/ I just don't know what they refer to when they say "for real this time". In any case, there are many references on the web about Kline's French speaking ability. AugustinMa (talk) 07:40, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kevin Kline speaks French 

message: ...since it may come up again, since so many online sites list three, the alleged youngest being an "Autumn Belle Kline" born in December of 2005. You will never find this child mentioned in any official press birth announcements from either Kline's or Cate's PR people. All you will ever find is the same little item repeated over and over, from imdb on. I've tried to get imdb to remove it for some time now, even pleading with them to contact the publicists and/or agents for either actor, to verify. 
I've tried to figure out how this story got started. The only thing I've been able to come up with is this: A web blog/site, http://www.celebrity-babies.com/ posted an item in June 2005 that Kline and Cates were expecting again after 11 years. A "Victoria" was thanked for the news. In August 2005, celibrity-babies.com printed a retraction of this item, stating that they had heard from Phoebe's PR that it was not true. (A recent search at the site for "Phoebe Cates" resulted in the retraction link at the top of the results, with the original, false announcement just below it.)
Forget the many repeated trivia references to a third child, and consider the evidence of some more legit references to the contrary: 
1. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/24/fashion/thursdaystyles/24CRITIC.html, dated November 2005, mentions Owen and Greta, but no mention of any pregnancy or impending December birth. Plus this and other articles about Cates and her Blue Tree store state that she opened the shop in October 2005. While it's not out of the realm of possibility, would most pregnant moms open a business just two months prior to the arrival of a newborn?
2. Jump ahead to a USA article/interview about Cates and Blue Tree, dated 3/22/06 (which would have been over three months after the birth of this third child, if she existed): http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-03-22-phoebe-cates_x.htm and you will once again find no mention whatsoever of any children other than Owen and Greta. Would it not be strange for such an article to completely omit a third child?
3. Once again, jump a bit farther ahead to a WWD article dated July 2006: http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-16202913_ITM, and again, only Owen and Greta mentioned. If "Autumn Belle" existed, she would have been close to eight months old at this time.
As to how the rumor got so far along that a fictitious child was given a name (let alone a birth date) is hard to say. That embellishment on the story possibly came about, it possibly stems from the idea that this was an early December baby (still in the "Autumn" of the year), and of course Cates' middle name is "Belle". 
Conclusion: The only children to date that Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates have are Owen and Greta, and any references to the contrary should be taken as apocryphal at best.

replies: text: I've just come across this issue for the first time.  I accept your reasoning that there is no third child.  However, given that "Autumn Belle" exists in the minds of some people by now, maybe it would be good to explicitly state that reports of her existence are apocryphal and that no such child exists.  Many people who've read of "Autumn Belle" would come here and wonder why we make no mention of her.  Sometimes we need to say not just "what is" but also "what is not".  --  JackofOz (talk) 02:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Thanks, Jack. I've edited the page to incorporate your suggestion. I didn't want to get too wordy concerning this nonexistent offspring, and hope that I wasn't, and that it was cool to cite this section of the talk page as a reference (rather than wasting space to cite the sources for the reasoning in the article itself). I won't be offended if wiser heads know a better way. I agree that it's probably a good idea to make some mention of it if only to keep people from coming back time and again to add her. 68.53.58.159 (talk) 08:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

message: These awards are mentioned under "personal life', suggesting some direction or sponsorship by Kline.  However, while the awards are named in Kline's honor, they are sponsored by the Professional Theatre Awards Council.  On the awards' official web site, Kline refers to "lending his name" to the award, but sits on the board only as an honorary member.  68.165.204.148 (talk) 11:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Dated Patti LuPone? If this matters for some reason, you must say why. If you're seeding a list of people Kline has dated, please get on with it. I notice his name does not appear on her page. 173.57.136.229 (talk) 16:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I was born in 65 ,
my grandmother used to take me to The Record Bar, Toy store.
I always thought that my Grandma Mrs. Mesker,
joked about meeting Kevin Kline through the toy store.
I guess she really did.  
So I must say thank you Kevin for your extremely wonderful movies,
but more important,
thank you for your father,
he always tried to get me into the educational games,
and he succeeded!
I loved his toy store more than any other at that time!
And there were some big ones in Boston at that time.
Best Regards,
Ben  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.93.245.219 (talk) 23:21, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
