What a lovely performance in Quinton Tarrintino’s Dango Un-Chained. 2600:1700:A82E:C000:50DC:D6CE:A6D4:6E9C (talk) 04:06, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Early life error!

I don't know where the information came from, but where it states in her early life:

"She performed with the Tada theater teen group in 1985, when she was fifteen years old."

Well, someone did a math error! If she was with the group, then she should have been 8 years old! Or was with the teen group at 1992/1993 when she was at the age of 15?

Where was this bit of information found? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.173.144 (talk) 17:11, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Race

Ms. Washington's biography should be updated to include her role in David Mamet's production of Race, currently on Broadway at the Barrymore Theatre, New York, NY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.86.177 (talk) 01:47, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage

There are now three reliable sources confirming her marriage to Nnamdi Asomugha, so please no more "rumored to have" and "not officially confirmed" nonsense.--ukexpat (talk) 20:25, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:29, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. While Washington keeps much of her personal life private from the public eye, she herself has confirmed Asomugha is her husband. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bml8 (talk • contribs) 20:05, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Music Video

Does anyone know if it's her in DJ Khaled's video, "All I Do is Win?". If you pick it up from 1m03s the woman definitely at least resembles her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGXzlRoNtHU Mfelzani (talk) 21:22, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Information

This Article states she was the first black woman to headline a network drama since 1995. But Gugu Mbatha Raw starred in the Undercovers in 2010 as te lead star and she is african american — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fadidos (talk • contribs) 01:14, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
