Hi, Nice page but some of the informantion comes directly from my biography. Dont you think you should credit it or recommend it.

  Sincerely, Barbara Seaman author of LOVELY ME, THE LIFE OF JACQUELINE SUSANN

What a strange article. One comes to an article on Susann expecting some discussion of her one claim to fame, Valley of the Dolls, and its place in pop culture. Instead we hear about her poodle.

[edit] Serious help

Is this bio for real?Backroomlaptop 05:46, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Some of the material is word-for-word from the Swingin' Chicks site. I'll try to revise what I can. --Marysunshine 20:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Trivia

Can someone add something about how she was an invited guest to the party Sharon Tate hosted the night she was murdered? she ended up not being able to make it to the party. I think its a good trivia quote. Here is a site for quotation : http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/1943/pge7.html

That's pretty much (for lack of a better word) an urban legend. There was no party that night. Susann wasn't being completely honest because a TON of people claimed they were invited that night. More than likely, they got confused with a party that was to happen earlier in the week, but was canceled. Pinkadelica 06:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Philandering father?

Is this sourced anywhere besides http://www.swinginchicks.com? Sorry if I don't consider them to be the most credible source. --Tom 14:38, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

As stated in the first post in the talk page, much of the material was taken almost verbatim for Barbara Seaman's biography, without any citation. I read the same information there, and I consider that a credible source.Jeffpw 19:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

This biography is an embarrassment(sp), ALMOST as bad as my spelling :). ANOTHER bio with ZIPPO footnotes. It should be nuked, imo. The bio by Seaman is a rag. Seaman's article in Wiki should be nuked as well....where to begin????? --Tom 14:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits

I reworked the article & added the info box. Most of the info I took did come from the Swingin' Chicks website. I did try to leave the article as neutral and factual as possible. The Swingin' website is actually fairly accurate even though it includes a bit of hearsay. If anyone has a problem with how the article is written or structured, let me know or change it up.
