[edit] Urban myth
The following by a anonomous editor was removed to bjaodn
>>>Such was Pia Zadora's reputation as an actress, the urban legend grew that, whilst playing the part of Anne Frank in the play of the eponymous heroine's life, at the point at which a Nazi soldier kicked the door down and shouted at the occupants, "Where is she? Where is Anne Frank?!!" The audience, as one, replied, "She's in the attic!"
Regrettably, there is no truth in this. Regrettably, there is no truth in this. <<<
I remember reading this in a review magazine years ago, so it must bear some weight as an urban legend worthy of note? Dainamo 08:59, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

- It's legitimate to note that the urban legend exists, as long as it's written properly. I've added it back to the page, citing the Snopes link and clarifying that it's an urban legend. Bearcat 09:29, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Polish?
Does anyone have a source for the category? I couldn't find anything. JackO'Lantern 04:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- [1]"Tuesday at 8 pm, E!: The E! True Hollywood Story: Pia Zadora. The tiny blonde Polish-American singer-actress with the tycoon hubby became a national joke back in the late '70s. This documentary surprises in two ways: by winning sympathy for Pia, and by revealing her to be a thoughtful, talented woman. ExRat 08:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
- Assuming her mother's maiden name was, in fact, Zadorowski, that should tip you off. Along with her big lips (a la some other Polish actresses, such as Loretta Swit). I like that quote. For all the public ridicule (much of which she brought upon herself, in part, as she has said, because she has a "funny name") when she has appeared on talk shows she has come across as bright, warm and engaging.

- Well it's pretty irrelevant what her mother's name was. Either we have a good source or we don't. But the source that ExRat presented seems good. Mad Jack O'Lantern 22:39, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

OK, now that we've gotten the Polish part out of the way, does anyone have a reliable source that she is Italian-American? All I could find are shakey trivia sites Mad Jack 22:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NPOV
"In an interview with Larry King, at the peak of her popularity / notoriety, she came across as warm, intelligent and engaging"
- Is this NPOV? Isn't this opinion?

- I don't think it's documented anywhere that she "came across as warm, intelligent and engaging". Looks like an opinion. Therefore it's POV and should be removed. Rossrs 14:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
