Talk:Gertrude Lawrence

message: In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:11, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: "Race relations" pertains to The King and I. "Atheism" pertains to Susan and God. "Psychoanalysis" pertains to Lady in the Dark.  Do we really need footnotes for these words?  The plots and themes of the plays are well-known and are described in their own Wiki articles. Newcastleind (talk) 06:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, Dooyar, that isn't the point of fact tags, and you know that. The fact tags are for the need of a citation that Gertrude Lawrence specialized in appearing in productions that feature those things. Besides which, this is only covered in the lead and there is nothing in the article you've restored that addresses those plays or their subjects. What, we're supposed to read your mind? Please. 
However, that is not all that you did, as you also well know. You've just reverted the article back to an earlier version, although many things which have been tagged for sourcing for over seven months were removed and returned by you. At this point, however, you're a proven sock puppet and you are NOT permitted to edit on Wikipedia anymore. If you'll go read, being blocked is a way of saying "Go away, we don't allow people who continue to break the rules to edit here." So, go. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: First paragraph

message: First of all, Paramount's "Long Island" studio was actually in the New York City borough of Queens which has been part of New York City since 1898; "Long Island" generally means suburban Nassau and Suffolk Counties which are east of Queens.  Indeed, Brooklyn is the western terminus of Long Island but I cannot recall anyone ever referring to Brooklyn as "Long Island."
Secondly, the Paramount Studio complex in the Astoria section of Queens in NEW YORK CITY had, at the time, what was the FOURTH LARGEST soundstage in The United States and the largest on the East Coast; this is hardly a "small studio complex" especially if you add in all the other several square city blocks that it still occupies to this day; even the Warner Brothers studio in Brooklyn was fairly good-sized (NBC took it over to use as a TV studio).
Paramount continued to make regular, high-quality, first run motion pictures at this facility and since they were in New York City they also used many location shots of the city in the 1920s and 30s.
Indeed, Paramount's main motivation for building this facility was that they could access Broadway talent and this became especially handy once sound motion pictures became a reality.

message: 'Richard Aldrich's biography of his late wife... was purchased by Marilyn Monroe during a period when she stayed exclusively in New York and Connecticut, not California.'
Rather an odd mention. If it was a best-seller, as claimed, no doubt many show-business people bought the book. Valetude (talk) 11:59, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  So what? 

message: 'Three years after Lawrence's death, her daughter Pamela gave birth to Benn Clatworthy, the first of Lawrence's three grandchildren.'
The article mentions Pamela's first marriage, but not her second. Who was Mr. Clatworthy senior? Valetude (talk) 12:03, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
