It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's fair use policy almost never permits the use of "fair use" images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead. |
In reference to NPOV, some examples, but not all, from the text:
which was being directed on the cheap by a fresh-out-of-film-school talent named Martin Scorsese.
Adapting that book into a film would become a 16 year labor of love for Scorsese, who would eventually cast Hershey as Mary Magdalene - though not before making her audition, to prove that she had earned it.
In characteristically free-spirited fashion, they would later recreate their love scene in a hay-filled boxcar for a Playboy magazine pictorial.
However, the hippie label soon became a career impediment and by the late 1970s she was reduced to appearing in made-for-TV embarrassments like Flood! and Sunshine Christmas. But her excellent work in Richard Rush's 1980 critical favorite The Stunt Man - her first big screen appearance in four years - served as a reminder to Hollywood that there was still a notably beautiful and talented actress in their midst.
and so on. Well written, but seems more like a piece for People Magazine. Steve-O 00:56, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
All those "People-isms" were mine, I'm afraid. If there was a "neutrality" reminder when I threw this together a few years ago, I was too amped by the novelty of discovering Wikipedia to pay any attention to it. I've done my best to tone it down - and added the discreditable note on Mr. Andrews. Thanks for the constructive criticism. - Ribonucleic, 2 March 2006
[edit] revisions?
I think this article should be tagged as needing major revisions (I don't know how one does this tagging thing). The introductory sentence is already unintentionally funny: "Barbara Hershey is an American actress, known for her many film roles." Is anyone able to do a major overhaul?

[edit] Coral Kattner
There was a reference to a 'Coral Kattner', as "Her best friend was Coral Kattner". It was out of context as a non-sequitur, and I couldn't find any other reference to this person.
This may well be fact, but I thought it didn't belong where it was, and didn't have anywhere else to put it, so deleted the phrase. Blugreen 13:25, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
