the date January 27 does not seem to be significant. perhaps it should be replaced with simply "In 2004". - Hemanshu 11:13, 29 Jan 2004 (UTC)
There should be more photos of her as Paikea in Whale rider, thats the best movie!!
Is there any link with her character's surname in "Whale Rider", and the name of her character in Star Wars 3, Apailana? They seem to look awfully similar!
- It's always a possibility that George Lucas created the name of her Star Wars character as a tribute to her character in Whale Rider (her claim to fame); if you look closely a lot of minor characters in Star Wars have names that are either tongue-in-cheek or an homage to something else. --PatadyBag 17:09, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
- This is quite possible, given that Keisha's character is never identified on screen by any name. (It's a shame that she and veteran Australian actress/singer Trisha Noble received so much press for their appearances in Episode III only to be relegated to cameos lasting about 5 seconds each...) 23skidoo 06:36, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality
It says in the article that she is from Auckland,New Zealand.Then it goes on to say that she was born in Western Australia but had her citizenship revoked when she became a New Zealand citizen.Maybe we could put at the introduction that she was born in Australia but now has only New Zealand citizenship.Serenaacw 09:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Also,this article says that her father is 'english-australian' I ran several google searches and all it says in Keisha's biography is that her mother is Maori and her father was born in Fremantle.Western Australia.Serenaacw 09:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
I think what they are trying to say is that her father may have been born in Australia but is of English citizenship.
Even if true, it does seem to me to be just a tad over finicky. Does it really matter? Then again the way the article is at pains to try and convince us that Keisha is no longer an Australian citizen also reads just a little odd. To me anyway. I also have doubts concerning the validity of the claim that she no longer holds Aussie citizenship.Ernest the Sheep 10:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Youngest Female Academy Award Nominee?
Anna Paquin won an award at 11. Castle-Hughes would have been 13 when she was nominated. I'm going to remove that bit about her being the youngest ever. Lomaprieta 08:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Er, right. Sorry. Lomaprieta 08:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pregnancy
According to CNN she did not attend the Nativity premiere because she was filming at another location, NOT because of the pregnancy. This should be corrected or a source citeded saying otherwise.
According to NY Times as well: "According to publicists working on the film, Ms. Castle-Hughes did not attend the screening because she is shooting her next movie and would not participate in the worldwide marketing campaign for “The Nativity Story.”" http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/27/movies/27cnd-vatican.html?ei=5088&en=6a64f28349a74b48&ex=1322283600&adxnnl=1&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&adxnnlx=1164864025-XtXBYcEgW6qR4ZmH7Ifn1w Although the pregnancy might have made immediate filming a bit more urgent for her next movie. Erstrawb 05:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I think that there is something quite disturbing about this situation.
[edit] Boyfriend?
I don't know about NZ laws but here in th US if a 16 yo was pregnant by a 19 yo that boy'd be servin' time. What's the deal here? Do the Kiwis not make such a big deal about somethin' I like to call statutory rape?!? -Teofil Bartlomiej 03:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- This isn't really related to the article, but statutory rape is relative to the age of consent. In Australia, the age of consent is 16. In the United States, the age of consent is determined state-by-state, with most states having ages of consent between 16 and 18. —bbatsell ¿? 04:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- The age of consent isn't the only factor. There's usually a gray area that comes into play; in Tennessee, there's a 4-year gap (I believe), meaning that 16 and 19 wouldn't be illegal (whereas 16 and 21 would be). EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- That's part of age of consent law, though. Here's the text from Tennessee state law: [2] —bbatsell ¿? 05:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, that's just a myth about the 3 yr clause or 4 yr clause or whatever. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.149.236.86 (talk) 04:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Colbert...
Stephen Colbert just started a rumor that the baby is going to be born by Christmas. Brace for vandalism, perhaps... EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Looks like it's already been vandalized, Some one may want to roll this page back to a previous version, and a vandalism block should be in order Zippedpinhead 04:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Somebody beat me to it. EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- ok, now it is protected. But -- unfortunatly -- with false information. Someone able to edit the article should change the last edit made. 87.162.182.38 15:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Done. -- Kicking222 15:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Colbert's people have already gotten here... no truth to the December 25th date... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.149.159.200 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Citizenship?
It says in the main article that she lost her Australian citizenship under the now repealed section-17 of the Australian Citizenship Act. Well I followed the link to the relevant article in wikipedia and as far as I can tell that section of the act applied to adults only. So my understanding of the situation is that Keisha probably still holds Aussie citizenship. But if anyone knows better or has any different thoughts on the matter? Ernest the Sheep 09:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
No feedback on this yet? Assuming the wikipedia article on Australian citizenship is correct and factual, then I am pretty sure that her Australian citizenship is still valid. If this is indeed the case then the article certainly needs correcting.Ernest the Sheep 10:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
