Her full name is Thandiwe (with a "w"). Thandie is a contraction. 24.44.34.146 05:20, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Is it perhaps beside the point of description to mention "light skin" and "dark skin" in regards to her role in Crash? I don't recall that being important, either in dialogue or thematically. --Bottre73 22:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree about the skin thing it's irrelevant I'm going to edit it out.BumblebeeUK 20:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] place of birth

i am just wondering why she is argued to be born in london. all the wikipedia sections in other languages say that she is born in zambia or zimbabwe. is there any valid source for her place of birth? --Bdrain 00:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong Info

In the Info box at the top, it lists her place of birth as London, which is wrong, and contrary to what it says in the article. May I change it? --nocturnal omnivorous canine 17:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of daughter's name open to dispute

I don't believe Thandie's daughter Ripley is actually named after the Alien movies character. I used to work for a major UK celebrity magazine and remember her saying, in an interview, that she'd used a close friend's surname as her daughter's name, and that her friend had returned the favour and called her own daughter Parker, after Thandie's married surname.

Although I don't recall her specifying in the feature that this friend was the actress Fay Ripley, Fay does have a daughter called Parker!
