message: Does this count as a "performance"?  She appeared in that guise on the cover of the album Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:19, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: * Yes.  She was quite proud of pulling off the act, which she did repeatedly, and it's a good story. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:37, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Does make up to look like a chimney sweep count as black face? Really? I'm all for exhaustive lists but that is really stretching. Can someone with some clout look at that? 120.152.11.210 (talk) 06:40, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: In the 1964 film, Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and the child actors pop up a chimney shaft and are seen covered with soot, grease and grime on their clothing and faces, as are everybody in the large chorus of chimney sweeps. As an additional gag. Mary Poppins (Julie) takes out a compact and busily powders her nose, making it even blacker, and even more outrageous. It's supposed to show some prim and proper people being superficially *dirty* for comic effect. Yes, it's quite a stretch to connect this to some racial issue.

replies: text: The two sources cited for Andrews are objectively incorrect. Have a look at this one for example, which goes over why Andrews objectively did not wear blackface in Mary Poppins. NotAmberTurd (talk) 13:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

message: Judy Garland performs in blackface here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ok5R9wDc44k. I am wondering if she has been considered in the past, but wasn't listed because she was a minor at the time, or other mitigating factors. DazzleNovak (talk) 23:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems like a regular case and hasn't been considered before so I've added it. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:24, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
