Reciprocity please

This article could use a link to the Marcia Strassman page, much as that page links here. And if a Separated at birth pair of photos could be found to grace both pages, so much the better.

Inaccuracy

Apparently the "bizarre accident" story isn't exactly true. See the first comment on (removed dead link -signed by Talkpagecleanupcrew) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.253.44.186 (talk) 00:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite frankly, the "source" is questionable. Who or what is the "World Entertainment Network"? What is "starpulse"? Even if the comment attributed to Ms. Smithers on the site linked above this isn't from her, it sounds somewhat more plausible...and a Google search turns up, as near as I can see, no actual mainstream news sources reporting this. You'd think it'd show up somewhere. I think the entire thing should be excised from the article. 173.89.233.208 (talk) 00:38, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

is it a common practice to graffiti talk pages like this, or can I just say that as a human race we need to figure out how it ever became possible to go from where a comment like this was ever possible, to the present situation -signed, Talkpagecleanupcrew (for now til I make a handle)19 May 2020

And why was the car driving naked? >> "In one report by the World Entertainment News Network, her car broke down while driving naked..." 67.175.53.147 (talk) 23:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Granted National Enquirer is more authorative than Wiki, but don't think any reasonable person would (or should) believe anything that sources the Enquirer on just about any topic. Suspect Ms. Quarters may have indeed been involved in a traffic accident but the rest of this sounds like a crock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.18 (talk) 15:54, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Age is wrong

She just had a birthday and is now 71, yet the info box states she is 70. Somebody please fix this atrocity!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.182.1.4 (talk) 19:19, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes on both fr:WP and es:WP say that her birthdate is 3 July 1949, in North Hollywood.Kelisi (talk) 21:25, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kelisi, Do those articles have the date cited to published, reliable, non-primary sources? WP:DOB is specific about criteria for publishing dates of birth for living people. I don't know whether other versions of Wikipedia have similar policies. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

None is stated explicitly, but the same birthdate is given at IMDb, if that is acceptable. Kelisi (talk) 18:53, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kelisi, unfortunately, that won't help. WP:IMDB indicates that IMDb is not a reliable source. Like Wikipedia, it is WP:USERGENERATED. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:44, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
