[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 21:53, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

What on earth is that trip down memory lane doing on Wikipedia?

[edit] Agnes Morehead Affair?

I would like to see a citation for this rumor. How likely is it that they had a lesbian affair given the 32 years difference in their ages?T.E. Goodwin 03:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

In the recent Agnes Moorehead biography by Charles Tranberg, Debbie Reynolds goes on the record and says it is not true. That of course will not stop vicious gossips who never let the truth stand in their way.

I don't know about Agnes Morehead but from what I remember in Las Vegas being her limo driver she chased the female maids around. She would frighten the maids and they would quit because they did not like being hit on. I have no problem with anyone being gay, I just wish more people would come out. Maybe it would be more excepted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.183.116 (talk) 22:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other Relationships involving Debbie Reynolds

I'm surprised this page doesn't mention the infamous love triangle between Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Fisher, and Debbie Reynolds. It also doesn't say her children's names, one of which is Carrie. Shouldn't you at least mention that Carrie Fisher (from Star Wars) is her daughter?2003graduate

[edit] Fair use rationale for use in the article Debbie Reynolds

1. Image is used solely for the identification of the subject.

2. The image is readily available on the source website, [1] or [2] and the further use of this image on Wikipedia is not believed to disadvantage the copyright holder.

3. The subject of the photograph is living and is currently still performing. The image of this person conveys

• the person's current appearance,
• the difference between her present appearance and that of the other image in the article which is from the 1952 film, Singin' in the Rain,
• her durability in terms of career and
• her versatility in terms of the varied media in which she has appeared throughout her career.

4. No free image has yet been located for this person which would convey all of the above information and characteristics.

5. It should be borne in mind by editors that the image is first and foremost a poster (and is captioned as such) for a concert which took place in 2005. By definition, a poster is intended to be seen by as wide an audience as possible and is a promotional tool. A promotional tool is, by definition, designed to promote an event or a person and is generally used by the promoters to cover as wide an audience as possible, in the same way as a film poster. Film posters are are considered fair use in that the copyright holder, if one exists, has implicitly allowed the image to be widely broadcast and propagated.

[edit] Didn't she die last week?

My dad said he heard on the news last week (today is April 6th) that she died last week. Could someone verify this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.227.203.136 (talk) 02:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Not her, as her official site has nothing about any death, and Google doesn't either. XPhile2868 (talk) 06:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
