[edit] Article needs a lot of work

We need a filmography -- can someone take the info from IMDB and work it up into a table? Also, I'd like to know where she was born. Jewish family? Where? In Mumbai?

This may not be relevant at all, but the news articles say that she was a recluse. Was she still well-to-do, as per the Rolls Royce reference, or had she lost much of her wealth? Is this a sad tale of fall from wealth into poverty? Zora 22:00, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] real name

her real name was Farhat Ezekiel Nadira [1] Florence was an english name taken by her, as was common amongst several Baghdadi Jews, including Albert Sassoon (David Sassoon's son), whose real name was Abdullah. Pizzadeliveryboy 23:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for finding the info! Zora 09:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alcoholism

I too have read that Nadira was an alcoholic, and that she died from the effects of alcoholism. However, I don't think I read that in any reliable source. I took out the claim until we can get a reliable reference. I'd be more than happy to have it in the article as long as it is backed up. Zora 07:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
