Choke (film)

The article on the film does not mention this actress, does anyone know if she is really going to be in it? Beeblbrox (talk) 03:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, she's in it. She plays Cherry Daiquiri, the stripper. You can see her in the trailer (under "External Links"); also, she's listed on the IMDb page for Choke. Easy2Slip (talk) 05:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Halloween Returns

So far, although her name has been mentioned, it appears that the director only "hopes" or "wants" her to star (sec. the AV Club, IGN, and others). I have seen no response from her, no official confirmation, not even any official talks. Too early to put in the filmography, so I removed it. Once we can find it confirmed in reliable sources, we can add it. --MattMauler (talk) 14:56, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed addition

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Two suggested additions for the 'Career' section:

In 2020, Jacobs directed "Higher, Further, Faster," an episode of Marvel's 616, a documentary series about the impact of Marvel Comics on culture.^[1]

Jacobs and co-host, Diona Reasonover, premiered STEM-focused podcast Periodic Talks with Stitcher Radio in February 2021.^[2]

Done with edits.--FeldBum (talk) 21:43, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Which source says her father was a rabbi?

https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/chicagotribune/name/william-jacobs-obituary?id=2665947

I don't see it in any of the inline citations and this obituary indicates there was Catholic funeral mass for him, which seems pretty odd if he was a rabbi for 27 years. Olivebranchwv (talk) 18:23, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested alteration to career/notable role

Jacobs has now been a reporter for multiple publications, specifically on podcasts. Suggest we add the fact that she is a journalist of some description now, as well as an actress. 2A02:C7C:66D5:2F00:68F7:357A:E17F:C3BD (talk) 07:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We would need a reliable source to label her a journalist before calling her one in the lead of the article. "Reporting" or doing research for a podcast is not always thought of as journalism, even if it maybe should be.--MattMauler (talk) 15:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
