[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:14, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birth place?

This article says she was born in England, but the IMDb says she was born in San Francisco. Which is correct? — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:48, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

I see this article has been changed to say that Silverstone was born in the US, yet a couple of years ago I saw a TV interview with her half-sister who spoke of Alicia being born in London. Can anyone find a quote directly from Silverstone?

[edit] Siblings and Emancipation

I'm pretty sure that Silverstone just has two half-siblings, not two full siblings and two half-siblings as this article seems to say. I think the confusion arises because some articles online mistakenly refer to her two siblings as full instead of half. I've never seen an article which refers to her having both half AND full siblings.

Also, while empancipation allows minors to work without parental permission, all other child labor laws, including those limiting work hours, still apply to them. (http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/ChildLaborPamphlet2000.html#6) It's possible Silverstone claimed that she emancipated in order to be able to work longer hours but legally it's clearly not true.

[edit] Non-Nude? WTH?

Hunh?:

Silverstone reportedly refuses to appear non-nude in any of her movies. Because of this, she requires a body double in her place for clothed scenes.

Joke, or no? Madmaxmarchhare 03:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

It's a vandal. Check the revision of 3:09 this morning. Cranston Lamont 04:36, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] British-American

Silverstone was born in the USA to two British parents and is entitled to UK citizenship and a passport (if she doesn't already hold both). This means she is British American. This resource is full of so-called "Irish-Americans" who have an Irish antecedant from centuries ago, or an Irish-sounding name, or green eyes, or like Guinness, so why can't a woman with 100% British parentage be called British-American? 86.17.247.135 12:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• I've readded "British-American". Wikipedia's own entry for the term states that "British Americans are Americans whose ancestry stems, either wholly or in part, from one [or more] of the four constituent nations of the United Kingdom". If Silverstone isn't, how can anyone be?! 86.17.247.135 12:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

• Of course it'sbeen reverted! It's not as if her parents were born in Ireland, is it?! That would be notable. 195.92.40.49 17:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Sandler?

Where does this information come from? There isn't a citation and if it's true it needs one. If no citation or source can be found, I'd have to say that this piece of information be removed. Stylejunkiex 00:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC) Jackie

[edit] The Crush was notable

The Crush won her awards and a lot of attention, and from there she started her career. The directory of the three Aerosmith videos with her in them, cast her after seeing her in that movie. Amy Heckling, director of Clueless, saw her in those videos, and decided to put her in Clueless.

I notice not all of her films are listed, and there is a minor mistake I'm going to go correct now.

And for the guy that commented on Adam Sandler, I remember seeing David Letterman ask her about dating him on his show, but she refusing to answer. Don't really think its relevant though. Dream Focus 21:21, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tracey Bryn (from Voice of a Beehive) and Alicia Silverstone look very simular to eash other.

Watch the video for "Don't Call Me Baby" on myspace. Am i the only one who think so? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.209.135.83 (talk) 18:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
