Talk:Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Brother or ex-husband
This woman is described as having once been married to Eric Foner. However, on Maggie Gyllenhaal's entry, Eric Foner is listed as her uncle. I don't think both can be correct.
- most sources say brother. the only vaguely official thing in support of the ex-husband argument i can find is this ( ). She mentions having lost a brother to cancer in her blog (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-foner/terminator-in-deed_b_12196.html) but Eric Foner's still alive right? This source (http://www.columbiaspectator.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/11/21/3fbdf5683a759?template=pda) from the Columbia spectator says she graduated in 1966 and that ""Foner is another member of one of Columbia's most famous families, which includes her brother Eric, a professor of history". Anyone got anything better? I'm inclinded to belive Columbia.

Eric Foner is her ex-husband, not her brother. I'm editing the relevant articles using a letter from Eric Foner to the Columbia Daily Spectator, which corrected them after they made the same error, as a source. Calindigo
I've met Eric Foner, Naomi Foner and Jake Gyllenhaal and have discussed their relationships with Naomi and Jake. Eric Foner is Naomi's ex-husband. After their divorce she married Steven Gyllenhaal. Jake and Maggie are their children and are not related to Prof. Foner at all. When he was a high school senior Jake told me he'd never even met Prof. Foner, though they may have met later when Jake was a Columbia undergrad. Maggie also went to Columbia and likely met Prof. Foner there for the first time, but I don't know this for a fact.
