Talk:Jill St. John

Stereotype?

"born to a Jewish family" is a racial stereotype. If the person is Jewish, just say it. ----me.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.187.180.63 (talk • contribs) .

Providing factual information in an encylcopedia is far from perpetuating a racial stereotype. Also, what racial stereotype is being perpetuated? By saying "racial stereotype" do you mean Anti-Semetism? Take a look a some other Wikipedia articles: List of Jewish Americans, List of Jewish American actors, and List of British Jews. Do you think these promote "racial stereotypes" as well? This article is already tagged with the category, Category:Jewish American actors. Finally, let me address your point about not having "born to a Christian family" on other articles. The subjects of biographies on the English Wikipedia are overwhelming from the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Australia. The majority of individuals from these countries are Christian. In the minority are Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and others. Pointing this out is simply providing factual information to the reader and cannot be at all compared to attaching a Star of David or a Red Crescent to these articles. -- Dcflyer 21:49, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

There are indeed racial stereotypes about Jewish families, just as there are stereotypes about Asian families and black families. Why don't you start adding "born to an Asian family" and "born to a black family" to articles, Dcflyer? Why is there an obsession with promoting a stereotype about Jewish families? There's nothing wrong with saying someone is Jewish, if they are Jewish. Just say it directly, don't promote the "Jewish family" stereotype. ----Signed, me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.187.180.63 (talk • contribs)

Mr. 67.187.180.63 , your comments about racial stereotypes are completely absurd, and completely false.

Saying someone is 'Jewish' or 'born to a Jewish family' is not stereotyping. It is a statement of fact about the subject. Also, Jews are not a race, any more than, say, 'Catholics' or 'Methodists' are a race. Jews are a religious and/or cultural group, in other words, a People. In fact, Jews refer to themselves as 'The Jewish People'. American In Brazil (talk) 11:11, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

@American In Brazil, this is a very old convo but I just stumbled across it looking for something else and I thought I should correct the misinformation. Jewish people refer to themselves as such because they are an ethnicity. Judaism is an ethnoreligion. In other words, you can be ethnically Jewish.

That said, its not offensive to Jewish people if you say "born into a Jewish family". They say it themselves. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Fair use image

Fair use image deleted. Can somebody please point me to the rule saying that a fair use image cannot be used for a living person? Is there any law? Is it a WP rule? 62.224.247.42 (talk) 18:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)unknown IP

I definitely think a picture is needed. Surely a woman who appeared in multiple movies and TV shows has a fair use image out there. Also, wasn't she the long-time girl friend of Hollywood attorney Sydney Korshak? If so, and it is verifiable from reliable sources WP:RS, shouldn't this be included in the article?

Her career

I can't believe there is almost twice as much information for the article of a character that she played, but barely anything on her page. Can someone please write more about her career?Jamesbondfan007 (talk) 06:32, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Batman TV series appearance

Shouldn't there be some mention that in 1966 St. John appeared opposite Adam West in Batman, ESPECIALLY given that (1) it was the premier two-episode set of the smash-hit series, and (2) her character died in on-screen, to my knowledge the only killing of a character in the entire run of the series? [Someone whose memory is better than my own can correct me on either point, assuming my usually-reliable memory is conflating or neglecting something here.} Thanks in advance!

Education

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Jill St.John has a very high IQ and a college degree in something like marine biology. Can someone verify? It would be a nice addition to the article, if true.65.81.79.71 (talk) 16:17, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Are all those relationships real?

I can't really find verification for everyone in list of supposed relationships she has had. For example, I found a story about Sandy Koufax where he supposedly turned down a date with St. John. In another, I read they went on two or three dates and that's it.

I do wonder if its even necessary to list them at all. Its a bit weird. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:59, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
