"Evans grew up the son of a dentist and a dancer."

This line is quoted in every single article about Chris Evans, without exception. His father is indeed a dentist, and his mother was once employed as a dancer, but anyone who knows the family enjoys laughing at this oft-repeated line. Chris' mother has been many things - including an extremely devoted matriarch and the former executive director of an important youth theater company - but this simplistic, alliterative phrase is rather absurd, like saying the child of a war veteran, born years after the conflict, grew up "the son of a soldier".

However, without sources to corroborate anything different than that, that line needs to remain that way. --Vizcarra 02:06, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

"Evans was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts."

Sudbury has no hospital. The neighboring towns of Concord, Framingham and Marlborough all have hospitals. This should be corrected. Unless, of course, circumstances caused his birth to occur in Sudbury.
