Neutrality of this article

[edit]

The comments placed in the first paragraph of this article appear to be non-neutral: "She was an object of media interest because of the juxtaposition of her education, intellect, and class background with her career and stunning appearance." These comments do not adhere to the neutral standards of Wikipedia and should be removed. --Jbossbarr

I recall that this statement has been discussed before, although I don't see the discussion here. This is not original research of POV from Wikipedia contributors. It turns out that it's a statement that can actually be supported by sources. Several of the published sources cited in the article are not currently online, but a couple of them support this statement. Read this article, which says (in part) "PRINCESS CHEYENNE WAS A STRIPPER with a brain. ... For nearly a decade, she appeared not only on stage but also in newspaper gossip columns and on the radio, as the host of Ask Princess Cheyenne on WBCN-FM. She was a local celebrity. She was briefly engaged to Cat Stevens, and, during one of her retirements from the stripping business in 1982, she told local papers that she was writing a book about her life, to be called Bare. ... This was the sort of attention that didn't come to just any stripper. 'She was a bona fide star,' says Tom Tsoumas... But in a world of pretty faces and prettier bodies, Wightman stood out because she was different: She was smart, and she came from money." (Note also that this page shows evidence of the way media reacted to her.) --Orlady (talk) 05:55, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Roswell Angier book?

[edit]

When I search Google Books for "Princess Cheyenne" Boston I'm seeing Roswell Angier's book, Conversations in the Combat Zone, in the results. Alas, there's no preview, and the book is out of print (and used copies are expensive). Can anyone tell me if there are any references to or photos of Princess Cheyenne in the book? --Rosekelleher (talk) 18:25, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cat Stevens songbook?

[edit]

Also, a Google Books search turns up a Cat Stevens: Songbook but I can't preview it. I haven't found any lyrics of his online that explicitly mention her. I wonder if he mentions her in the book as the inspiration for one or more songs. Can anyone help with that? --Rosekelleher (talk) 18:25, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
