As I wrote this, I used IMDB as a source, but I'm not sure she wrote The Hitch-Hiker (1953 film). This could be a mistake at IMDB. Steve-O 21:46, 22 September 2005 (UTC)cat[reply]

Origin of "Sorry. Wrong Number"

[edit]

The article currently has the following text:

As Fletcher once explained in an interview, Sorry, Wrong Number was partially inspired by an incident from someone else's life. While Herrmann was sick at home, Fletcher went down to the corner drug store for medicine. Innocently striking up a conversation with her pharmacist, a longtime friend, she raised the ire of an elderly woman who had apparently been waiting first. The woman interrupted and approached the druggist, complaining about poor service and demanding to "know who this interloper is?!", referring to Fletcher. Finding the woman's shrill voice and demeanor particularly irritating, Fletcher went home with the intention of writing a script based around a character with those traits who becomes embroiled in a precarious situation.

This has gone uncited for over a year. I have found a source for a similar but not identical version of the story. I am going to replace the above with a cited version, but I am preserving the text here in case anyone later finds a source for this version. DES (talk) 22:05, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This edit changed the functioning link for TV.com to an archived site for "Lucille Fletcher: Radio's First Queen of Screams", already present as an external link in the article. I reverted the edit to restore the link to TV.com. — WFinch (talk) 14:12, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
