message: According to On the Couch she was never married to Keitel. See page 129 in the hard-cover edition (New York:Putnam's 2006) . This is also confirmed in her interview with Terri Gross (Fresh Air) on 6 April 2007  Corto 01:13, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I recall the same thing - it took her to the cleaners, and I think I recall her having to file for bankruptcy.  But I don't think negative things are allowed in Wikipedia bios - that's why the bios here are rubbish.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.20.99 (talk) 18:20, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

message: :Image:Dr melfi.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Dr melfi.jpg

message: The following claim is made (without reference) in the first line of the section 'Career':
"In 1974 Bracco moved to France, where she became a fashion model for Jean-Paul Gaultier."
According to the page 'Jean Paul Gaultier', in the first paragraph of 'Life and career':
 "Pierre Cardin was impressed by his talent and hired him as an assistant in 1970. Afterwards he worked with Jacques Esterel in 1971 and Jean Patou later that year, then returning to manage the Pierre Cardin boutique in Manila for a year in 1974.[2]"
{Ref: "bio". 212.180.4.184. Retrieved 8 November 2009.}
This seems straightforwardly contradictory, and even if LB was hired by JPG to do modeling for PC's boutique, it is surely a stretch to make the bolder claim.
Which claim is accurate (if either) is correct I do not know, but it was the very idea that JPG might, at the age of 21/22, be established enough to be hiring model's (implication - for his label) that drew me to this cross-checking.
All the best to anyone who wants to correct the claim(s) and/or typos(s).

message: I removed the martial arts categories per the discussions which led to the guidelines at :Category:Martial artists.  I have no objection to mentioning martial arts skills in the article, if sourced, but that's different than claiming they belong in a martial arts category.  It's like putting someone who was in a high school play in the same category as Laurence Olivier or that playing in a pick-up basketball game puts someone  in the same category as LeBron James.

message: There's a link on this page to Stella Keitel which at the moment just redirects to Harvey Keitel where she's only mentioned in passing. I'm removing the link as I expect she's not likely to get her own page. --2003:C9:472A:C200:89B0:6AD:91D5:D017 (talk) 20:53, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

message: :
I'm fairly certain this needs to be deleted and rewritten.  She is not known for either of those things, and frankly, I find it bizarre that someone would phrase it as such.  She's known for her acting career, first and foremost, and secondarily, for other things like modeling and business-related things. Viriditas (talk) 21:02, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Note, after thinking about it further, I'm fairly certain this was an underhanded dig at her.  There's a popular meme on Reddit that makes fun of lower class Italian women in the U.S. based on their husky voice and accents, usually due to chain smoking and screaming at their boyfriends and friends while drunk.  The combination of the tobacco and excessive use of vocal chords is said to lead to this husky tone.  It's supposed to be a joke.  My guess is that the person who added that material was playing around with the meme. Viriditas (talk) 21:30, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
