Content[edit]

Why is there content pertaining to Tale of Two Cities on this page?

It looks like the last like in the 'Early Life' section is a direct copy from her brother's page (John) and probably should be deleted.

Picture is way too blurry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.58.197.140 (talk) 00:29, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Order of Filmography[edit]

Isn't the filmography in the wrong order? I was under the impression that more recent films should come first.

I believe such lists generally go from oldest to newest. Nareek 13:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speech[edit]

Does Joan Cusack have something that causes her to speak differently? She kind of sounds like she has a speech impediment.Kiwidude 01:11, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Television[edit]

She's been on TV shows, too, hasn't she?

Saturday Night Live...That's a TV show, I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.64.108.242 (talk) 02:57, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This comment from 2008 was resolved a while ago. Please see Joan_Cusack#Television - SummerPhD (talk) 03:15, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

cellular[edit]

The reference to US Cellular should be linked or explained in some way, as a non American I don't know if it's a company or a government department or whatever. --Brideshead (talk) 20:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a pretty terrible picture of her. Anyway to upgrade? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.222.131 (talk) 04:21, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To reply to your question about U.S. Cellular -- it's a private company, a cellular service provider with most of their remaining footprint in the Upper Midwest of the USA.

I concur 100% with your comment about her picture. Whoever uploaded that photo must have been trying to "slam" Joan in a not-so-subtle way. That is a HORRID photograph. It doesn't accurately represent her at all. It makes her look like a crack whore who's lost her dentures. Nothing could be more misleading.

TV[edit]

Should mention her ABC series, What About Joan, 2001-2002. At least that's the info elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.92.126 (talk) 05:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A goofy sentence[edit]

I am going to take out this sentence, from the Personal Life section: "Cusack considers herself an Irish Catholic." The key word is "considers," because she is an Irish Catholic.Closedthursday (talk) 19:40, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Name pronunciation[edit]

Is it pronounced koo-zak or kyoo-zak? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.248.244.18 (talk) 23:09, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actress and comedian[edit]

Cusack is called an "actress and comedian" in the lede sentence, in the infobox, in the categories, and her comedy sketch appearances are well-documented in the article. For consistency, we must include the occupation of "comedian" in the WP:SHORTDESC. Elizium23 (talk) 19:00, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It already is included there FMSky (talk) 19:02, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
