[edit] Richard Helfman

Un homme du 'Grand Magic Circus' [1]. Gotta be a typo on the credits? --Stacey Doljack Borsody 23:43, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Why do the articles on Danny and Richard list entirely different area of LA where they gre up? They are close to the same age, so growing up would be considered during the same time frame. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.153.45.49 (talk) 14:36, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emmy

Elfman's mother Blossom is listed as an Emmy Award-winning novelist. How in blazes can a novelist win an Emmy?129.244.60.176 21:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Easy. Because some of her novels were made into TV movies and won. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182241/awards --Stacey Doljack Borsody 23:07, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks more like there was only one award, and for something she wrote directly for TV, so if it were my decision, I'd say change "Emmy Award-winning novelist" to "Emmy Award-winning WRITER", which isn't so misleading. Just my two cents.129.244.60.41 00:52, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree with this. It's like saying "Oscar-winning TV writer"; it just doesn't quite work, y'know?This Dizzy is Darker. 05:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
