Talk:Tina Louise

message: Don't know as the film The Stepford Wives really should be said to have been well-received if by that "critically well-received" is meant.  I will say that it was well received in that the term "Stepford Wife" entered the mass vocabulary, and that it is regarded as being better than the version recently released by almost everyone.

message: Is she a lesbian? I saw her on a list of "out celebritites", but I can't find anything on her sexual orientation beyond that.
Tina gave an interview to the BC magazine called Out! in which she acknowledged her lesbianism late in life, yet is not currently seeing anyone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.54.18.181 (talk) 05:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Below is the content I have removed from the main article space. Trivia section doesn't say anything about whether the items in question are remotely connected to the subject of the article or just shear coincidence. The quote isn't actually attributed to the article subject (within the article) and has no reference attached that I could see. Thank you. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I remember reading when Rescue from Gilligan's Island (1978) first came out that supposedly the real reason that Tina Louise didn't want to be involved was that she hadn't aged well.  I didn't take much stock in the rumor until I saw SST: Death Flight (1977) some years later with her in it and noted that she was no where near the beauty she had been as Ginger.  Does anybody else remember reading this and if so where it came from?--BruceGrubb (talk) 01:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Old Rumor

message: I am surprised that Tina came in only second-after Heather Locklear! Is this true? I would have thought she'd have been number one with Julie Newmar and Lara Parker in the second and third places. Locklear is pretty, Tina is beautiful and sexy. Hmm, with all due respect to Ms. Locklear, I suppose there's no accounting for male tastes.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I've heard over the years that Ms. Louise had aspirations to be a serious dramatic actress, but had never read (before now) that she's an official member of the Actors Studio in New York. I'm interested in where this is referenced, elsewhere. Codenamemary (talk) 01:35, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

message: according to the top of the article she died in 2004, yet a ways into the article it reads:
"Louise now resides in New York City"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.166.141 (talk) 03:37, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

message: According to IMDB, her birth name was Tatiana Josivovna Chernova Blacker. It seems as if this should, at a minimum, be addressed by Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.180.32 (talk) 19:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

text: Looks like that's since changed on IMDB, because now it reads "Tina Louise was born Tina Blacker in New York City, the daughter of Sylvia (Horn) and Joseph Blacker, who owned a candy store." IMDB is known for deleting all content related to the deletion of members (for whatever reason. IMDB deleted all my contributions when they deleted my account), so "Tatiana Josivovna Chernova Blacker" may have been there at one time, but no longer.giggle (talk) 07:08, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth Name 

message: After her role as Ginger Grant became synonymous with red-haired individuals in general, did this observation somehow manage to change the English language?   Aside from individuals like Ginger Baker - a blond male -ginger now appears to denote redhaired females in general.   I may have misspelled this, but it appears to belong to a family of logical propositions that are outwardly true, but only because of the observation.     Ex post, propter hoc" means you can prove the proposition by offering an observation that is apparently true, even though there are plenty of observations possible, disproving the proposition.   It's like misstating cause and effect.  (??)    216.99.198.133 (talk) 05:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems there is a page that addresses this very question: "But, others still believe that the ‘Ginger’ nickname originated far earlier than the 1960s. In fact, we’ve heard that ‘Ginger’ could be older than a hundred years old, with late 18th century references to prove this...During this time and throughout the 19th century, Britain occupied parts of Malaysia, home to the Red Ginger plant...Beautifully bright as a beacon, this fiery-headed plant caught the attention of many visitors to the country, and has been cited as one of the first instances of redheads being called ‘Gingers’."http://gingerparrot.co.uk/where-does-the-term-ginger-come-from/  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregory.george.lewis (talk • contribs) 07:15, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I could find no evidence she was Jewish other then the Neatorama website link which is not a blog and it is not my site. There no references any more that says that Tina Louise is Jewish, so I am removing that completely. I also think its racist to have it so high up in the article. Being Jewish is not the most important thing about her. So if that person who removed it can find a reference to say she is Jewish, that is up to them. Ty78ejui (talk) 18:24, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Who's resenting which role in this part? "Following the news of Dawn Wells' passing in December 2020, Louise denied any longtime rumors that she resented the role of Ginger Grant: "Never true – I loved doing my part,....." Tina had the role of Ginger....not Dawn.  And the follow up makes it clear that the sentence refers to Tina. Should it be "resented playing the role of Ginger"?  I don't know what anyone did or didn't resent based on this (or otherwise)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19B:C600:51C0:8DD0:FEAC:9B01:FBE5 (talk) 00:57, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
