[edit] Confusing
I added the confusing tag because this bio jumps around all over the place chronologically and doesn't really give any clue as to how she rose to prominence or where she learned to dance etc. etc. or where she was when she did what ..... it's a bloody mess. 81.79.184.39 23:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Who is Montparnasse?
[edit] Bad Joke
Why is there a lame joke from a British comedy show on this page? It's totally irrelevant.
I think someone should remove it.
I'm not sure where she died it was on the French Riviera Nice or Cannes I can't remember.
Nice. See : http://www.seminaire-sherbrooke.qc.ca/hist/hist5/travaux/biog/D/duncan.htm (in French)
Is the photo in public domain ?
Was she born in San Francisco or Oakland?
did she die on the 14th or 19th? September 19 says 19th
A search on google show that it's a photograph by Arnold Genthe it doesn't seems to be public domain.

- Isadora Duncan died over 60 years ago, so it should be public picture !

- It doesn't work that way, unfortunately. See U.S. Copyright Law for details. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

My English teacher taught us to use Duncan's name to help find which part of a sentence has the independent and dependent clause. Here's what she taught us: If Duncan's name was in a phone book, it would be Duncan, Isadora. For a sentence that would be dependent than independent.- B-101 16:26, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] ballet vs. modern
isadora disliked ballet, correct? its all a bullshit article
[edit] Project Gutenberg
If anyone from PG is reading this, My Life would made a great book for digitalising. She died 79 years ago, so I assume it is out of copyright.
I agree about the joke - I'm going to remove it.
[edit] Death
The article states that Isadora Duncan died when her scarf was caught in an Amilcar automobile. However, I've heard from many sources that it was a Bugatti. I'm considering changing this. Zapvet 02:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
The general consensus is that it was an Amilcar. http://www.bugattipage.com/jacob/InfoHunt/Q-076.html http://forums.autosport.com/showthread.php?s=4f183a36ad11a89068692d3ee63b73e6&postid=938386#post938386 http://forums.atlasf1.com/printthread.php?threadid=9925 Janm67 05:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
