[edit] Birthday

I know that most sites list her birthday as being 17 January 1988, but I heard from someone on IMDb that her birthday is actually in February. Can anyone confirm her birthdate? Stephe1987 07:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Well if you Google it [1] - there aren't any results saying February. JackO'Lantern 08:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

It's weird but she doesn't turn up at Ancestry.com's California listings. I'm guessing either her name / date / or place of birth are off. Mad Jack O'Lantern 07:52, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, whoever said her birthday was not in January was quite right. Thanks to birth records, both that and her name have been confirmed. The date is May 17th. Mad Jack 02:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] She moved out?

How could she move out at fourteen? Isn't that illegal? Why sigh, cutie pie? 23:44, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

No, why should it be? —Nightstallion (?) 22:37, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, it's not ILLEGAL, but I guess I'm asking even if she got emancipated, how did she survive? Her parents were divorced, she wasn't exactly wealthy (unless I misread but the article doesn't mention it) and if you live on your own you still need a steady income -- pay the laundry and toilet bills, buy food, buy school supplies and clothes, etc. If she was only fourteen, how could she get a job? I thought you couldn't get a job until you were sixteen. Did she just take up some junky McDonald's shift to survive, until she graduated? Why sigh, cutie pie? 22:36, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

In Austria, it's legally possible to get court to separate you from your parents and to make the state your legal guardian, who would from then onwards provide for your shelter, nutritution and education until you're an adult. Maybe something similar was possible for her? —Nightstallion (?) 16:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
