[edit] Birthplace?

According to several other web sources (and anecdotes), Greer Garson was born in County Down, Northern Ireland, not Manor Park in London. Irishchieftain 01:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Britannica on this matter: "Garson often claimed to have been born in County Down, Ireland, where her grandparents lived and which she happily visited as a child, but she was, in fact, born and raised in London." Petrichor 02:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

She also left a lot of money to the College of Santa Fe, if someone wants to do some resarch about funding and so forth. (there is a theatre and their studios are named after her i believe). Jakrus34 21:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speech

How is Garson's infamous Oscar-accaptance speech not mentioned? If anyone could post a link to the contents of it, it'd be great.

I agree. The longest Academy Awards speech should be mentioned! 85.227.226.160 13:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Added it! Petrichor 23:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little Drummer Boy

A very minor point, but it says that the TV special was made in 1968 and broadcast every year since 1966. PurpleChez 03:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
