Big Quote

[edit]

I am kind of a maverick. I am not sure if the big quotes are frowned upon, but I see them enough, and feel this particular quote so identifies this actress it could have been her calling card. I am just writing this to emphasize my enthusiasm for it. --K3vin (talk) 01:39, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New York Times error?

[edit]

The Times refers to Miner making her NY debut in 1948 in a play called Obligatoo, for which no confirmation can be found. The closest thing is a 1958 play called Obbligato (2 "bs", 1 "o"), reviewed in The Village Voice (available here). Given the lack of corroboration, and given the existence of a contemporaneous, detailed review, the Times appears to be in error, and I have adjusted the article accordingly. -- 207.237.223.118 (talk) 16:00, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hartford Circus Fire

[edit]

Wikipedia omits that Jan Miner was a survivor of the famous Hartford circus fire. She is omitted on that page as well. The information is easily found, a survivor pointed her out to me as another survivor. http://articles.courant.com/2004-02-18/features/0402180218_1_madge-miner-circus-fire — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.65.92.14 (talk) 03:28, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to tat article, she was more a witness than a survivor. Not sure it's worth including. HalJor (talk) 05:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
