The Sun-Herald (October 25, 2009) has a more life-oriented interview for anyone who wants to flesh it out. 22:57, 28 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.33.238.40 (talk)

Controversy section

Is this really a "controversy"? Looks more like a storm in a teacup to me and should probably be deleted or pared back per WP:WEIGHT. – ukexpat (talk) 15:18, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth

I have seen the source is her own website for Liverpool, but my knowledge was always that she was from Newton? I have one source saying so directly, [1], but then also a lot of book profile blurbs. Not sure if these have been sourced from an earlier wikipedia page entry? Anyway, anyone have a better secondary source that La Plantes own website?

For some background on the issue. I can find the article was changed back in 2013 to merge the idea of her Liverpool salesman dad with her upbringing / birth. I can then see people putting in the infobox, and a bit of a war over her birth and being raised in Newton vs Liverpool vs Crosby and even Warrington over the next few years.[2][3][4][5]. Then earlier in 2019 there has been a dispute again, with IP using OR to present a birth record, and Bonner using a Primary Source (neither of them ideal).[6] That brings us to the current day.
