[edit] Mistake in 1st paragraph.
It states she "trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) with actors such as Sir Roger Moore and Sir Michael Caine."
Not true. Caine never went to RADA, or to any other school of acting. In fact, he has often moaned about being overlooked in Briatin because of his lack of a theatrical background and concentration on films. Admittedly, La Collins, and Roger Moore, aren't taken seriously artistically either. Dolmance 18:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Yikes! --AStanhope 01:45, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
This sounds a lot like PR. "A woman in perpetual motion"? PLEASE! Someone who actually knows what they're doing should sort this out. --86.129.235.153 20:37, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
Agree. Weird. Written from future: "In 2006, she did this and that... very successfully" of course. --Waldirei 22:25, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Private Lives?
Well, yes, the whole page is as POV (not to mention OTT -- over the top) as any non-religion-related page I've seen here, but somehow, Joan being Joan, I don't mind as much as I so with, say, edit-war veterans like Pat Robertson. I do, however, have one smaller question -- in what way (other than the leading lady being something like forty years older than the original character calls for) was Collin's Broadway version of Private Lives an "adaptation"? I vaguely remembering it being a hit despite scathing reviews (the usual filmstar problems -- tiny voice, no technique, and lots of pandering to the audience)....Robertissimo 07:25, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IMDb quote attributed to Anthony Newley will be reverted per WP:BLP
IMDb is fairly accurate about movies and dates but is subject to user input that does not get the peer review of editors here at Wikipedia. In addition, the IMDb quote is not sourced/cited there which makes it somewhat questionable in light of Wikipedia:Attribution which requires that the "threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is whether material is attributable to a reliable published source". WP:BLP, per the talkheader above, states: controversial "material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous. Unless this quote can be found in another reliable source as to when, where and what context is was allegedly said, it should be not be included. Ronbo76 04:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
