Picture

Could use a picture but I'm not gonna upload one as Wikipedia's picture policy drives me insane. Redwolf24 07:01, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

The picture now is fine but quite a bit outdated. I saw her on tv a few years back with fairly long hair (at least to her neck), maybe even red. I haven't looked up the nitty gritty details for Wikipedia re: pics, so good luck finding a better picture. Armslurp 03:11, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

There's no picture anymore, so I'm re-adding the reqphoto tag. -- Bovineone (talk) 23:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced

Wikipedia's policy police have not yet seen this article, which has dozens of significant, unreferenced statements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.199.25.146 (talk) 23:50, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Glass eye?

Can anyone determine whether Duncan's glass eye is real or apocryphal? The IMDb biography indicates that this is an urban legend... -Hedgey42 17:15, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

This interview quotes Sandy Duncan explaining that she does not have a glass eye:

What a vision! And speaking of visions . . . your ‘fake eye’ was the object of a joke on Family Guy. Are you aware of this?

Yes. My son called me from Tulane and told me. I didn’t see it. I know they did some silly joke – many people think I have a glass eye. I had a tumor in my left eye which killed the optic nerve, but it’s my real eye. I just cannot see out of it. It remains a period of adjustment – sometimes things will be just out of range. I have no depth perception, so I have to memorize and track where things are, sort of like radar. I recently had cataracts in my good eye and they removed them and replaced the lens and I can actually see without glasses, and I have worn them since I was 12! But like all mortals my age, I still need them to read.

The wiki page should be edited accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.229.113.74 (talk) 18:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

IMDb link removed

The Internet Movie Database is not considered a reliable source of information for biographical details such a this due to the fact the information is not provided with verification. The glass eye rumor may be just that, a rumor, but we need a better source than the IMDb, so I have placed the Citation Needed tag next to the statement and removed the link under the "poorly sourced" provisions of WP:BLP as detailed in the banner at the top of this page. 23skidoo (talk) 07:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

In this case IMDB is right, as usual. IMDB is a pretty reliable source, and there is no reason not to use it.  Randall Bart   Talk  17:17, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Summer or Fall of 1971

When I was just a kid, my mom and dad took me and my brothers to Disneyland in Anaheim, California. When we were there, Sandy Duncan was supposed to climb up onto a highwire, and ride a pulley-arrangement down from the Matterhorn display, but she had a headache, or a stomachache, so she didn't do it. We were all looking forward to it, too. How much did she make, every time she rode the wire down from the Matterhorn? 198.177.27.30 (talk) 03:24, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

What about the 1971 Disney movie, The Million Dollar Duck? ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.77.75.93 (talk) 00:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for writing on this but I don't have an account. I met Sandy Duncan today after she performed in the Glass Manajerie. She is performing at the mountain playhouse for the next 15 days. She was amazing and we even got to ask her and the cast questions after the show. Hope you can go see her. The show and everyone and the Mountain Playhouse is amazing.

Thanks.

Circular reference

The wikipedia page references a short biography at classictvhits.com which in turn gives wikipedia as it's only reference. Clearly this isn't useful, so I'm removing the citation. TrippingTroubadour (talk) 03:31, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Film career update?

A sentence has been inserted into this article saying that she has not retired from films and that her last film was in 2010. Both the filmography here on Wikipedia and on IMDB show her last film credit in 2001. We know that neither list is 100% accurate nor all-inclusive but since a definitive statement is made in the article, listing at least one film credit post-2001 would be helpful. Why point out a supposed fact without even listing what her most recent film was? History Lunatic (talk) 04:58, 29 August 2014 (UTC)History Lunatic

Tyler, TX

Tyler has over 100,000 people, so I took out Duncan's description of it. John FitzGerald (talk)
