This article is confused

This article is confused. It has sections on Hanff's career and personal life, but these could go under the section headed "Biography", which has nothing but a note about a biography of Hanff in it. Vorbee (talk) 17:52, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Family background?

Nothing on parentage or education? Valetude (talk) 22:48, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ena Gaussen

Hanff mentions ‘Ena Gaussen’ often in ‘The Duchess of Bloomsbury’ but it seems her name is in fact ‘Elena’. Also, Google readily locates two portraits of Hanff by Gaussen, one in Central Park, New York, the other in her apartment. So where is the one Hanff posed for in Russell Square, London? Gaussen mentions it on her website, but says nothing more.

Hanff was told that Gaussen had also painted some celebrity portraits - Pamela Brown and someone else. Where are these?

(FWIW, I don’t consider Gaussen’s work especially meritorious. Indeed, I think Hanff was a tad naive and/or star-struck.) 220.240.82.127 (talk) 05:34, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I’m sorry, this is a page for discussing improvements to Hanff’s Wikipedia biography. You could try asking the reference desk. Innisfree987 (talk) 06:06, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
