Think we should have people get redirected to America's Got Talent (season 7) if they were looking for the AGT contestant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:B980:4B0:714A:871E:BBDD:F918 (talk) 02:21, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline

The biography here doesn't quite square with the account in Glenn Close's article: "When Close was seven years old, her parents joined the Moral Re-Armament (MRA), a movement in which her family remained involved for fifteen years. During this period, Close's family lived in communal centers." She was born 1947, so their involvement would have started in c. 1954, continuing until c. 1969; William Close, however, was apparently based in the Belgian Congo from 1960? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.197.27 (talk) 23:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
