[edit] Italian-American, or Albanian-American?

In the body of the article, it says that Marisa is an Italian-American. Yet, this article is also in the Category of "Albanian-Americans". Which is it? -- Jalabi99 09:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Every source i've read says she's Italian and/or Sicilian, but someone keeps adding her to the Albanian category. I asked the person to come to the talk page to provide a source. Crumbsucker 12:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
That's what I'd like to know, the only places which claim her "Albanian" are few Albanian run sites, nothing independently confirmed and she herself never said she was of Albanian origin in any of her interviews. This same person has been adding several Americans to the Albanian category[1] with no proof to back it up. I'm curious to know where is the proof that Alan Shepard, Connie Francis, Lee Elia, William G. Gregory, Donald Lambro, Ty Treadway are of Albanian or Arberesh, the bases on making them "Albanian", origins cause I looked and nowhere do any of these people make such claims. I also would like to know how Sandra Bullock, John Cena, Kemal Atatürk and of all people Benito Mussolini one of the biggest promoters of fascism opressors of Arberesh in Italy and who sought to dominate Albania, are considered "Albanian". Go figure. [2] ~Mallaccaos, 4 May 2006

The edit on 26 Aug 2007 claims her father is Lebanese, which would make her Lebanese-Italian American. I think the edit is bogus.71.159.130.211 00:10, 18 September 2007 (UTC)unsigned

[edit] Tuscan

Marisa Tomei is not an Albanian nor is she a Sicilian. She has repeatedly said that her ancestry is from Tuscany in Italy. Tomei is a Tuscan name.

mother comes from Messina, Sicily, father from Lucca, Tuscany...

[edit] She has dual citizenship between America and Italy. She sometimes travels under the Italian passport.

Does she sometimes not travel under her American passport? Why is this not worthy of note? TharkunColl 23:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

  • if she visits Europe, with an european passport she gets through customs quicker...

[edit] ph00ts plz

An article on an actor or actress really ought to have a photo.

[edit] Why is it An urban ledgend?

i was reading the urban ledgend category, and i noticed that this
is an urban ledgend why?

I suspect it's the urban legend that her name was called for the Oscar when it was not really her who had won. http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/tomei.asp is the debunking of the urban legend that Snopes.com did. KyleGoetz 19:49, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sweetheart

I removed the following unsourced statement. "The love of her life still remains to this day her college sweet heart Mark Segal from Philadelphia." Smylere Snape 23:30, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does Seth MacFarlane not rate Marisa Tomei?

In the first episode of the second season of Family Guy ("Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater"), it is implied that Brian Griffin is responsible for the "miracle" of Marisa Tomei's Oscar. Why the dig, anyone? Surely there are many much less deserving Oscar recipients? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moletrouser (talk • contribs) 08:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
