[edit] Roxann Dawson age

Are you certain she was born in 1958? I noticed imdb has her at 1964, and I checked several birth databases and there is no record of her.--Fallout boy 02:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I suppose that is pretty airtight. I've sent an update to imdb with that info. Which birthdatabse did you use, if it is online? --Fallout boy 06:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your blog

I just noticed a link to your blog on one of the discussion pages you edited. You're quite right on a lot of the stuff - Goldie Hawn's made-up name, which I deleted from her page - I have got no clue where it started - but her grandfather's name was Otto Hawn, so obviously the long name is crap. Billy Bob's Italian ancestry - I found that family tree and fixed up his article accordingly - the only Italian connection I can see is that Duce guy - or do you think he made the whole thing up?. As for George Raft - there was a dusty old book bio in my university's library. It said his father was a German immigrant and his mother an Italian American woman. This is now also in his article, I see. The book seemed reliable, but I am not sure. If you think it's not true you should remove it from the article. Mad Jack 07:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, do you know anything about Kate Hudson's father? I've been trying to figure out "how Italian" he is. The family tree given by Ancestry.com seemed to indicate that Kate Hudson's paternal grandfather was not Italian at all. Cheers, Mad Jack 07:12, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
And I did not know that about Kevin Spacey! I've worked on his article a lot - and he's said the Welsh thing in quite a few interviews. Do you think he lied or was he just uninformed? Mad Jack 07:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meryl Streep

So she isn't Dutch either? Looks like you can't trust anything actors say about their background anymore. By the way, where you did find out that Jenny McCarthy's mother is of German descent? I also have an Ancestry.com subscription, but I haven't been able to dig as deep as you seem to have. Mad Jack 06:36, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Allen

I believe this edit by you [1], after being noticed and mentioned by the Forward paper in August, eventually led to this [2]. It means Wikipedia had the information that George Allen's mother was Jewish two months before Allen himself found out! Interesting Mad Jack 07:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
