Comment

Falana is reportedly revealing "a powerful message she received concerning the September 11 attacks on the United States." Perhaps not coincidentally, 9-11 is her birthday. Only reference to this is here:

http://www.catholicexchange.com/node/45873

Certainly if she is pursuing this revelation, something of it should eventually reach the web, so I'm not adding this to the article unless I find something more substantial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bustter (talk • contribs) 08:20, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed there's nothing in Lola Falana's article about her being on the Muppet Show. Somebody should fix that. TasteMyGrits (talk) 01:44, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone noticed that the subject, "LOLA FALANA" is a traditional west African name?

Perhaps a research of her ancestry should prove enlightening, since her forebearers' forced journey from Africa to Cuba (of which that country's very name is a "latinized"

version of the regional territory of "KUBA" which is the southern western continent,) shows a not uncommon retention and resilience of African culture, traditions, and folk ways; especially in the all-important matter of the perseverance of family, and tribal names!!! 69.127.182.156 (talk) 05:40, 5 January 2019 (UTC)Veryverser[reply]

Her series is missing

She was the host of a variety-show named "Lola!". As of the date of this Comment, I can't find where that is in this article. Surely having your own TV-series is encyclopedic and an achievement. How many people DO get their own TV-series? Not a lot.2600:8804:8800:11F:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 04:28, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Christopher L. Simpson[reply]

Also lifetime ban from The Tonight Show, surely noteworthy.Drsruli (talk) 20:02, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
