[edit] Paul Reubens?

Are you SURE you meant Paul "Pee Wee Herman" Reubens was a close friend of Minnie Pearl? I've never seen that allegation anywhere before and his stardom came toward the very end of Pearl's life.

Jim Nabors, on the other hand, was a very good friend and Minnie talks in depth about him in her autobiography.

[edit] "Forgot to remove the tag"

I'm not sure I agree with the statement that the tag on her hat was removed because of forgetfulness. I had always assumed that this was part of her character's act, purposely leaving the tag on a cheap hat to "impress" others.

Of course this is just an impression from the top of my head; I don't have any verification of this information.

I'd like to see what the consensus of other Wikipedia users are for a possible future edit. Scott 08:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Date of Birth, Date of Death and Age"

Someone needs to check the date of birth or her age at her death. Her date of birth is given as being in the year 1891 with death in 1996. This would have made her 104 when she died, but the 'Death' section states that she was 83.

IMBb: Date of birth: 25 October 1912

     Date of death:    4 March 1996
