There should be an article about Isabel Allende, Salvador A.'s daughter, who is not identical with the famous author I.A.
She holds a seat in Chile's parliament, and was elected its president in March 2003.

[edit] Cousin
"On September 11 that same year, her cousin was overthrown ..."
If Isabel Allende's father was a cousin of Salvador Allende, how can also Isabel be a cousin of Salvador Allende then?
- According to "Vida y espiritus," the book by Isabel Allende Llona and Celia Correas Zapata, Tomás Allende Pesce de Bilbaire (Isabel Allende's father) was the cousin of Salvador Allende. This would make Isabel Allende the first cousin, once removed of Salvador Allende. --Susanjb 18:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] S.Allende's Dead
based on recent recent informations, it has been found out, that Salvador Allende definitely commited suicide, while the junta was besieging LA Moneda. This information is based on the old confirmation of his doctor and recent confirmation of S. Allende's bodyguard, who was the last man who had seen him.

Salvador Allende certainly killed himself, with a machine gun given him by Fidel Castro. It was terrible.
This is amply described in a book by Monica Gonzalez, La Conjura, Ediciones B, Santiago 2000. The book includes a copy of the coroner's report as well a report by his personal doctor, who found him with the top of his head blown off, rifle between his knees. (The cornoner's report also clarifies that he was NOT drunk as rightists claim, but was sober.)

It has recently been stated, according to a report in a Colombian magazine (I forget which one), that Allende, seeing his position was hopeless, wanted to surrender, but that one of his Cuban advisers, wishing him to be seen as a martyr, killed him. Alloco1 01:35, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lesbian?
Why does the article say she is a lesbian writer and then go on to talk it her current husband?
- vandalism maybe?? --CesarCossio 01:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Must be vandalism. She has been married twice, she is a wife and mother, and there is no hint of any other liaisons in her life.Das Baz 16:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
It could be confusion due to the fact the Allende is definatly a femenist writer. Perhaps that was misconstrued? Rekov
[edit] Peruvian??
if she was born in Peru why does it say she is Chilean?? i know she spent most of her life in Chile but shouldn't be "peruvian" instead of "chilean" ?? --CesarCossio 01:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

- Because she was the daughter of a Chilean ambassador. Children of diplomatic staff on foreign duty inherit the nationality of their parent (if the local law has a ius solis principle they could take the local nationality too, but the other one is guaranteed). baloo_rch 02:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- Suplementary information: Chilean law recognises also the citizenship to children of Chilean parents. For example, current minister Ricardo Lagos Weber was born in the United States and i remember the case of a Chilean football player that was borned in Australia. baloo_rch 02:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Grandfather's Age
The House of the Spirits article claims that her grandfather was 90 in 1981, while this one says 99. Which one is right?
The book by Mary Main agrees with this article. The lower figure is probably an error. Das Baz 16:03, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I set the age from 133 which seems rather unlikely to the age of 99 also given on the Spanish version.
[edit] The cause of Paula's death
Paula died not so much of her illness as of the improper medical treatment given her. The same can be said of George Washington and Alvin Smith. Das Baz 16:58, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
The same can also be said of Abraham Lincoln, who died because the doctor treating him gave him whisky. Any doctor knows you dont give whisky or other liquids to an unconscious person. Rekov
[edit] Adult Life
Can someone confirm the name of the children's magazine, as I have my doubts it is called Genitals. But it may be?
