i love this actress ever since Corrina, Corrina. i am so happy to see her on Big Love and how her role is going to work out. It is fun to watch good actress' mature as their craft does.

[edit] Her name

California birth records list her name as "Tina Marie Majorino", not Albertina. Does anyone have a really, really, really good source that contradicts that? Mad Jack 16:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Several fansites give her name as Albertina Marie:
Tina Majorino Online
Tina Majorino Fan Site
Tina Majorino Fansite

And there's a quotation (probably from Tina's brother Kevin) explaining the meaning of "AM Project" on Tina Majorino Online's AM Project page:

The band name: "In the studio there wasn't a name established yet so the producer called it "The Project" just for fun because we had no name. Originally the music was written as a test to see how Tina's vocals would work. Tina's been singing since she was a baby but it was always opera or other people's work, she hadn't written any of her own stuff. So when we went into the studio to see how her vocals would be it was really her first time doing any original work where she actually got to write. We just added the "AM" for her initials."

We can't really trust fansites, most are unreliable. You can check out the California birth log here [1]. Birth certificates always list the full name of the person. Maybe "Albertina" is kind of her "unofficial" name among family members, but legally she is "Tina"? Mad Jack 19:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Children with unusual names are liable to be teased at school, so perhaps her parents thought it was best not to make Albertina her legal name. GagHalfrunt 21:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

That may well be it. Mad Jack 21:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
