[edit] Photo

It's too bad we don't have a better photo of Kathryn. She's very pretty, but you'd hardly know it from this photo, which is little better than a mugshot. Wahkeenah 03:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I know her sister, I'll see if she has anything that is suitable for Wikipedia. --Varco 15:26, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll hold you to that promise. Wahkeenah 16:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Overbite trivia

User:Wahkeenah, you continue to add the trivia item "Erbe has somewhat of an overbite, and is seldom photographed smiling." I do not believe that this should be in the article for the following reasons:

You provide no independent source for your claim that Erbe has an overbite.
You provide no independent source for your claim that Erbe is seldom photographed smiling. A single photograph, such as the one in this article, is not evidence of a pattern of behaviour.
The overbite, if it even exists, is not notable. Millions of people, including many celebrities, have "somewhat of an overbite". There is nothing inherently notable about an overbite, particularly when it is slight.
The tendency not to smile when photographed, if it even exists, is not notable. It is not unusual not to smile in portraits. I could name dozens of celebrities who are rarely photographed smiling.
Even if Erbe has an overbite, and even if she is seldom photographed smiling, there is no reason to think that the two phenomena are in any way related. Many people with overbites are often photographed smiling, and many people with and without overbites don't often smile for reasons entirely unconnected with how their teeth look.

I can't believe I had to actually spell this out for you, but you seem very persistent. I would be willing to concede that your addition is notable if you can provide some independent published sources discussing Erbe's overbite and tendency not to smile. For example, do you know of a magazine interview where she admits to not smiling because of her overbite? If not, I suggest you drop the matter. —Psychonaut 05:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

You're overreacting. And you've obviously never watched the show. She's got an overbite. I don't need a degree in dentristy to tell me that. And she never smiles. But you're not worth my time to debate the obvious. Wahkeenah 05:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
OK, you win. I saw her smile. However, she still has an overbite. However, the IP address who tried to delete this megillah had the right idea. Wahkeenah 23:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

IMDB lists her DOB as July 5, 1965. We have July 5, 1966 here, unsourced. If anyone can source 1966, please do so. I'm making the change. Nosleep1234 07:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
