[edit] April 1

The main article had a different first paragraph that was largely written up by me under the Wiki ID name of KarlKrish. It appears below. I may include it again in the main article, because it is written better than the current one. I will have to login first, though; because I have forgotten my password. The paragraph was deleted a while ago, possibly due to the fact that I didn't log in when I added it in at the time.

Mariella Frostrup (born 12 November 1962 in Oslo, Norway) is a journalist and television presenter, well known on British TV and radio, mainly for arts programs. Apart from striking looks and personality, she has what can only be described as a remarkably beautiful and even sexy voice, being mildly throaty and sophisticated. This has no doubt been one of the key factors in her broadcasting success. As a side note, her voice was once voted the sexiest female voice on TV celebrities. Her unique and well known voice is often used on TV commercials as well.

That version is almost entirely unsourced POV. It reads like a press release or promotional bio. --Onorem♠Dil 20:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, good point. It does sound promotional; but the current one (first paragraph) doesn't sound much better - that was my point. And it is true that she had the type of voice as I described and that increased the appeal for her as a presenter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.212.67.41 (talk) 21:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
