Talk:Karen Black

message: Karen Black is not Canadian. She was born July  1, 1942 in
Park Ridge, Illinois. She has spent her entire career in the United States and has never lived in Canada. If you're interested in Canadian actors visit http://www.northernstars.ca
The above was the article on Karen Black before I removed it to the talk page. Honestly, it does not make a lot of sense to me.  --KF 01:25 1 Jun 2003 (UTC)
The line "... having commenced university studies in 1954, aged 15." is likely to be incorrect.  My mother attended high school with Karen Black in Lafayette, Indiana in 1956 where she lived while married to a student at Purdue University.  Her photo is in my mother's high school year book. http://www.whenmoviesweremovies.com/nonnatives.html 20.142.112.35 (talk) 18:34, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Original article

message: The IMDB Database says she was born 1 July 1939.  Her official Website says she was born 1945.  Probably she is shaving years off her age.  I cannot find any source that says 1942.  I think this is  in error.  Overdubbed 13:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actual the IBDB database says 1942 , so that adds more to the confusion. --rogerd 20:51, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I was wondering why she is considered a gay icon.
::I didn't know that she was; but, if she is, it's because of her transsexual role in "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean."User:JCHeverly 18:37, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Gay icon

message: I deleted the "filmography" as it was merely the IMDB listings cut and pasted. It was not in any wikipedia format with internal wikilinks or even external IMDB links. the IMDB is also a dynamic database, by cutting and pasting the material, you have defeated the purpose of active linking.  The IMDB link is already at the bottom under extermal links. Perhaps someone would add filmography that lists the highlights of her career.  EraserGirl (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  filmography 

message: I don't know if anyone else wants to expand the filmography. One film that might be added is Killing Heat (1981). It has a Wikipedia Article, and it would be useful if it were on this page. Phuthaditjhaba (talk) 03:49, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I saw an interview she did in 2010 on youtube and she CLAIMED to have acted in 192 movies and tv shows.  I still don't know how she died in such penury.  She was working in one, shape, form or fashion until her poor health would not allow her to work any longer.  Also, did her ex husbands and/or bad business deals take a big chunk of her money away???User:JCHeverly 18:33, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  expanding the filmography 

message: As of March 25, 2013, she is critically ill. See http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-karen-black-cancer-fundraiser-20130325,0,2264790.story?track=rss  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.81.253.166 (talk) 10:23, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because someone is being treated for cancer does not mean "imminent death" is in the cards. She plans to travel to Europe for further treatment, which would suggest death is not "imminent." If she was in a hospice, if no further treatment could be found, if friends and family were gathering at her bedside, then one might ponder about "imminent death." 173.49.142.213 (talk) 19:34, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Imminent Death?

thread_title:  Third Marriage 

message: According to the accompanying sources of her article, Karen Black died on 8/8/13, but in the "List of recent deaths," she is under the 8/7/13 heading. Unclemikejb (talk) 23:25, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The statement that "After her final films were released in 2010, she was diagnosed with cancer and did not make any more public appearances" is not accurate.  She starred in a play in Los Angeles in late 2011. (See http://www.lastagetimes.com/2011/10/karen-black-and-david-proval-star-in-moses-supposes/.) She might or might not have appeared in public after that.  Perhaps she didn't withdraw from public view.  Or perhaps she did, but after 2010.  I can't correct the article since I don't have the facts.  With luck, someone who does will make the appropriate changes.

message: Why don't you mention that Ms Black won her Golden Globes for 5 Easy pieces and the 1974 "Great Gatsby", respectively?User:JCHeverly 18:36, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Golden Globes are not mentioned specifically. 

message: Found a similar photo on a review, showing that it was taken in 1970 for Five Easy Pieces. When I originally uploaded it, I thought it was from Nashville. It's also up for deletion. --Light show (talk) 00:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I don't think so, not unless we're going to make an automatic assumption that horror is a lesser form of art.  And if we come across a reference which says so, that's fine.  But I don't think we need to be making that assumption.FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 15:05, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

message: 80.136.196.48 keeps making trouble here as well as on the Wiki pages of Black's family members.
** Claims subject's daughter Celine is "non-notable" and deletes any mention of her, even though Celine acted alongside her mother on film and has been mentioned in the press countless times.
** Makes similar edits to the Wiki pages of Black's son and sister.
** Puts "Conflict of Interest" tag on page for no reason. Claims in edit summary that content is "unreferenced", which is a complete lie and an obvious one at that.
** Deems entire family of Theodore McKeldin as "non-notable" and deletes properly sourced content, including the acknowledgment of a deceased grandson who twice ran for public office.
** Removes licensed photos from article, claiming that "family snaps are non-notable", which is rubbish as Gold Star articles like Katharine Hepburn and James Stewart display such photos.
