She was also in the video by Jason Mraz but that is not mentioned here.

Please post a better photo. Thanks. Softlavender 02:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Edits to personal section

I am editing this page for a class and I have found quite a bit of information to add to her early/personal life sections from various interviews and articles like this one in The Rolling Stone. I also wanted to add a section about how she really enjoys doing nude scenes which she has reported in several interviews that I'm going to pull from YouTube. Unfortunately, most of my sources will be primary sources, but I think it will add a good amount of information to the article. Finally, I have found at least one movie she was in,From Where I Sit (2000), that is not listed. I'm going to explore more titles because I know she has been in many films and television shows that were quickly forgotten. Please let me know what you think.

UPDATES ON PROPOSED EDITS

After further research this is what I would like to add to the page:

A few small edits to her early life section including information about her siblings, that her mother died of an illness, that she played soccer in high school, and did not attend college because it was too much of a "time suck." Also a little bit of information on the extent of her role on Freaks and Geeks. This information will mostly be tacked on to existing sentences to flesh out the sections a little bit. These will be the sources - [1] [2] [3] [4]

I am also going to add a movie that is missing from her Filmography - From Where I Sit (2000) - this was her first film role and it was a made for TV movie. [5]

My main contribution will be adding a full sub-section under "Career" called "Masters of Sex" which will outline her casting and signing procedure, her role in the show, her study and portrayal of Virginia Johnson, award nominations, role as a serious actor, comfort with nude scenes, and the impact the show has had on her career. Lizzy was immediately favored by casting producers as she "embodied Virginia" but was not officially signed for several months but Lizzy turned down many other potential roles while she waited because she wanted it so bad. All the characters read the book that the show is based off of and Caplan also spoke with consultant, Thomas Maier (author of the book Masters of Sex), and was allowed to listen to some of her actual interview tapes. Caplan's role as Virginia Johnson is not only her first major dramatic role, but she is also portraying a major feminist icon. In many interviews Lizzy has stated that though the amount of nude scenes in the show were uncomfortable at first she has gotten "as comfortable as possible" and actually enjoys shooting the scenes. Here are some of the sources for this section, but I hope to find stronger support before everything is finalized- [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] (This reference includes biased material which I will avoid and only use the factual portions.) [11] [12] [13]

In response to user NinjaRobotPirate, I will be reducing the emphasis on her nude scenes as part of her personal life and instead include a little information in the "Masters of Sex" section because I still believe it is an important theme in her work. After doing further research, I found that Caplan takes many measures to keep her personal life a secret. There is little information to be found concerning her personal life. For this reason and out of respect for Caplan I have decided to leave this section alone altogether.

@Hollylsample: I'll respond here, as it's the better venue for a specific discussion of edits to the article. I don't see any problem with your proposed edits. One of the sources listed, cartermatt.com, looks like a blog. It's OK to use biased sources, but they do have to fulfill our criteria for reliable sources, such as having a listed editorial board. Also, it looks like you've got a citation the IMDB mixed in there, too. That's not a reliable source, either, as it's user-generated. This bio from AllMovie is a better source. My main concern was that focusing too much on nude scenes could turn the biography into something like a lurid tabloid story, but it's obvious you're not going in that direction.

@NinjaRobotPirate: Thank you for your suggestions and for taking the time to show me a more reliable source. I will be adding my final changes today and my project is due Thursday, but I will continue to come back to see if I need to make further edits. Hollylsample (talk) 20:36, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
