[edit] Filmography changes

Rappe is incorrectly credited with appearing in Clara Kimball Young's "The Foolish Virgin" and in Arbuckle's "His Wedding Night." The Young film is lost, but was filmed at Fort Lee on the east coast during the Spring of 1916; Rappe was in Hollywood during this time.

The Arbuckle film "His Wedding Night" has recently been given a commercial release; although Virginia Rappe is credited as "pretty lady in car" neither of the two young women in the car is Virginia Rappe. This short was also filmed on the east coast at the same time that Rappe was filming Balshofer's "Paradise Garden" in Hollywood.

There is photographic evidence that Rappe appeared in "A Game Lady" and "His Musical Sneeze" but none exists for "The Kick in High Life." Although the imdb credits Rappe with appearing in the Lehrman film "Wet and Warmer," this short was shown at Cinecon this year--she does not appear in the film.Joan Myers (talk) 03:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] pronunciation

Is it RUP-ay or ruh-PAY? kwami 06:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

It is correctly pronounced "Rap-PAY." It is a Swedish (or ultimately Germanic) name. Sorry for not responding more quickly, I did not see this until today.Joan Myers (talk) 03:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
