Occupation: socialite?[edit]

That's not an occupation that I know of. --Agusk7 (talk) 20:47, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing[edit]

Most of these refs appear to be referencing quite a big chunk. I dont see what major parts or mighty claims are unsourced here. Why not put a 'citation needed' at relevant parts instead of the entire article? Or why not check the refs to see just exactly how much they were sourcing? I'd advise not usuing the Vogel biography for Olive, its trash and frankly the Taylorolgy site has better stuff. Not sure there is a solid print source on her (in fact I'll go out on a limb and say there is not). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.56.213.218 (talk) 11:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DOB[edit]

Is the date of birth correct here, because Kenneth Anger's, Hollywood Babaylon says that she was only 20 when she died, which would make her year of birth be 1900, but it is given in the article as October 1894 which make her nearly 26 when she died, do we know who is correct Mr Anger or the author of this Wikipedia article?

Olive taking medicine[edit]

Moved here from my talk page. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:47, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi John: Thanks for your message. I deleted the line about Olive taking medicine that was intended for Jack Pickford's syphilis because it's an unproven rumor that he had the disease. Unfortunately some historians have repeated this as fact. Best, M — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madcapheiress25 (talkcontribs) 20:38, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Madcapheiress25: Thank you for getting back to me. What is your evidence for claiming that the book is wrong? Do any of the sources discuss this point? If they do, then this disagreement among the historians could be mentioned in the article. I don't have access to these sources, and have only seen about four lines of page 257 of "Foster", all that Google Books is willing to show me. -- John of Reading (talk) 20:47, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
