Numerous uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. Several paragraphs are one or two sentences long and should be combined. Several sections are too long and should be summarised more effectively or broken up with headings. Z1720 (talk) 02:58, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The sections on her charitable involvement and portrayals in popular culture both look particularly bitty and could do with rewriting. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 11:59, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Year

[edit]

Since it seems no one is going to be able to convince everyone what her actual birth year was (I say it’s ‘06), then Ms. Crawford should at least be honored with the year she used broadly and consistently for over 40 years. That’s 1908. Leaving it blank is rather catty and drama-tinged. The birth year 1908 should be able to be protected just as well as the two spooky question marks are with warnings and notations. She’s a human of the modern age, and a revered one. Let’s let her have her year of birth. Clarawolfe (talk) 14:42, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gurrl, it's she like she wrote that mess herself.

Also, unless she was a premature baby, she could not have possibly have been born on March 23, 1904. I say that because her older brother, Hal LeSueur, was born on September 3, 1903, and the time gap between their birth dates is roughly 6 months. So, unless Crawford was born before reaching full term, anything between 1905 and 1908 is more likely, even though before she made it to Hollywood, most of her birth records cited her birth year as 1906, which seems plausible since in the fall of 1922, she enrolled at the Stephens Junior College in Columbia, Missouri, where the minimum age of enrollment was 16.

Quoting from a TV GUIDE article covering her appearance on Steven Spielberg's NIGHT GALLERY---she was asked if she'd like to do more television.

"I'm dying to do an FBI or a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. I wish to Hell someone would ask me!"

Article concluded with "Won't someone give the poor kid a break?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.30 (talk) 15:06, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

She deserves credit when she was in the Board of Directors, she is the founder of Pizza Hut, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and Taco Bell. Axlellism (talk) 17:04, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
