Talk:Miriam Margolyes

message: In Blackadder (the second series) she didn't play a Spanish Infanta, but Blackadder's puritan aunt Lady Whiteadder. They went to see Blackadder in order to talk of his inheritance. They would only eat turnip and drink water.  In one quote when offered a chair she declared, "You have chairs? Wicked child, chairs are an invention of Satan. In our house Nathanial (her husband) sits on a spike. I sit on Nathanial: two spikes would be an Extravagance."
More on Blackadder she did indeed play Lady Whiteadder in Blackadder II but also played the Spanish Infanta in Blackadder I  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.174.65 (talk) 08:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The following was included in her Filmography:
Sexy Sonia: Leaves from My School Girl Notebook (197x) - Sexy Sonia, voice characterisation
This could very well be genuine but I can't find a refrence to this film in Google and it's not on Wikipedia. We also don't know the year? I've removed it but if someone could provide a source then it will be reincluded.

message: I've rated this article as a C class for the LGBT project, nearly at B. Seems to cover the important points, and it well organised. Needs to fill in some of the gaps in citations. The discussion of her work seems to be a little random (or recentism?) - are they her "best" roles? "most aclaimed" "most famous"? Some quotes or cites from critics might clear it up. Is the OBE true? I couldn't see it in the article (was for services to arts? charity?. does she have an interaction with the gay community (publications, charities, views, fans?)Yobmod (talk) 08:27, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

message: In all the interviews I've heard, she describes herself as an actor rather than an actress: unless there's a WP convention precluding it, I propose the article be altered to reflect this Dom Kaos (talk) 21:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The article vaguely says in the middle of credits for the 1990’s that “around this time” she voiced the Caramel Rabbit; she may have done, but that misses the fact that she’s played the role since the Eighties (according to the Wikipedia article on the chocolate bar),and a YouTube search found an advert with her voice from 1980. The citation article given doesn’t refer to the rabbit at all… Jock123 (talk) 15:40, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

message: More stuff - her house was (unbeknownst to her) abused by drug smugglers to helicopter drugs across the Channel. Someone decide if it's notable. TGCP (talk) 13:30, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I saw her recount this on The Graham Norton Show and I think it is notable. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:36, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drug smugglers 

message: From WP:CONTEXTBIO: "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases this will be the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident". Margolyes is a citizen and part-time resident in Australia so "Australia" should be included in her nationality. Any thoughts? Burrobert (talk) 12:41, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Where is the evidence of her doing 'most of the supporting female roles in Monkey?' I live in Australia and never heard her voice - so what did she do? The Wikipedia page doesn't say what she did either, and if Tripitaka is credited to another female role, then she did bit parts and should state that (in the UK version). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.64.73 (talk • contribs) 11:38, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed that claim (along with "She also worked with the theatre company Gay Sweatshop and provided voiceovers in the Japanese TV series The Water Margin (credited as Mirium Margolyes")) has no supporting source(s). I see she is listed at the Monkey (TV series) article as one the UK dub actors, but again with no source(s). Unless it can be sourced here it should be removed, or at least tagged as unsourced.
