I think this bit:

- satirized along with that of Marlene Dietrich in the song Lieder by cult [[British]] trio Fascinating Aïda.

is a little too tangential...it has little to do with the subject of the article and belongs, if anywhere, in Fascinating Aida's article. One wouldn't expect a link from herpes to Fascinating Aida just because they've performed the Herpes Tango, would one? - Nunh-huh 21:57, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Her religion

Article says:

"As a child of working class Roman Catholic parents, Lenya wanted to be a dancer."

But later it says:

"With the rise of Nazism in Germany, Lenya, who was Jewish, left the country, having become estranged from Weill."

Please clarify...was Lotte Lenya a Catholic or a Jew?


[edit] her religion

Weill was Jewish, she was probably raised catholic in Vienna. Did she convert? Conmacrijo 18:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)conmacrijo

[edit] age of death

You've got to decide, if she lived from 1899 to 1981 she would have been 82. If she died at 83 then the date of birth or date of death isn't right.
