[edit] Original article

Karen Black is not Canadian. She was born July 1, 1942 in Park Ridge, Illinois. She has spent her entire career in the United States and has never lived in Canada. If you're interested in Canadian actors visit http://www.northernstars.ca

The above was the article on Karen Black before I removed it to the talk page. Honestly, it does not make a lot of sense to me. --KF 01:25 1 Jun 2003 (UTC)

The IMDB Database says she was born 1 July 1939. Her official Website says she was born 1945. Probably she is shaving years off her age. I cannot find any source that says 1942. I think this is in error. Overdubbed 13:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scientology

I am removing the reference that says Karen Black has denounced Scientology until a citation can be shown. The problem with leaving it like this, is that people will assume its true and report it in other places and then the citation creates itself, when the fact of the matter is that it doesn't appear that Karen Black has left Scientology at all.

According to my sources Karen Black is currently on level OT5. She married one of the Eckleberry boys and her mother-in-law, Renee Duke is also a long time Scientologist living in Scientology Mecca, Clearwater, Florida. Ms. Duke is also a friend of Beck's mother (another Scientology family). Her 17 year old daughter Celine is also currently taking Scientology courses.

Now I don't propose to add my original research to the article, but I do expect those that wish to disavow Mrs. Black from Scientology provide some reference for the claim. Vivaldi 19:48, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
