American Catholic

I worked for various Hollywood production companies during the middle of the last century, and recall Miss Blyth retiring to persue committments to her family and her faith. She was and continues to be a vary devout Catholic Christian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.146.74.221 (talk) 01:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Singing voice

edit

She had a very fine classically-trained sounding singing voice, but I don't see anything in the article about musical studies. Wonder if there's anything out there on her formal musical background. Badmintonhist (talk) 04:59, 20 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

wikipedia states the first time she sang on screen was 1949, yet she sang in Mildred Pierce in 1945 2604:3D08:B57E:A400:D477:9D9B:2079:6B (talk) 03:10, 15 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

James McNulty, her husband was 89 years old. She was erroneously reported dead on March 13, 2021 47.189.52.193 (talk) 21:47, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

The article does not say she died. If it did previously, it is fixed now. RudolfRed (talk) 23:08, 4 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
IP has been repeatedly claiming erroneous reports from various news outlets about the deaths of a number of people and editing their articles to that effect: Pat Boone, Ed Ames, and even adding these people (and this one) at List of premature obituaries. Plus making such a claim at articles like CBS Morning News. They are not providing proper, reliable sourcing for any of this. Yes, the people they are making the claims of erroneous deaths are still alive as far as I know (no sources saying otherwise), but their saying it's an erroneous death report from a reliable news outlet, known for fact-checking so such occurrences should be rare, is clear disinformation and discrediting these outlets (which is as much a WP:BLP policy violation as saying an individual has died without providing sources for that).

Correct year of birth and birthname

edit

Born Anne Marie Blythe on August 16, 1927 as per
Anne M Blythe in the New York State, Birth Index, 1881-1942
Name: Anne M Blythe
Birth Date: 16 Aug 1927
Birth Place: Mount Kisco, New York, USA
Certificate Number: 67334

Some non-primary source will be needed to support adding a date of birth. WP:BLPPRIMARY specifies, ""Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, ..." I have removed the date and citation. The date can be restored when a more suitable source is supplied.

Last name pronunciation

edit

I wonder how to pronounce her last name. It's not one I've ever heard anyone say out loud as far as I can remember. There are at least four obvious but quite different possibilities. Racing Forward (talk) 22:48, 21 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
