Name issues[edit]

Warren Boroson has commented on this article:

Renee Falconetti, the French actress? Wikipedia refers to her, first, as Maria Falconetti, then gives her name as Renee Maria Falconetti.

Her name was Renee Jeanne Falconetti. Her daughter, Helene Falconetti, in a letter to me now in the New York Public Library Theatre Division, states that she does not know where the wrong name "Maria" originated. [1]

Maria appears at IMDb. It also appears here [2], here [3], here [4], and on Google Scholar [5].

According to IMDb, Maria was introduced as a credit in 1917's La Comtesse de Somerive. As Mr. Boronson may know from reading Wikipedia policies, we avoid original research and cite sources. An unpublished letter in a library is not considered a verifiable source unless cited in a published resource. Boroson thus becomes the verifiable published source for this fact, acceptable unlike previous evidence that violated WP:NOR. Jokestress 00:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are her other films lost?[edit]

Since it is common lore that The Passion was Falconetti's only appearance on film, which is false, it would be interesting to know if her other films are lost. Such facts would improve this article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.23.253.184 (talk) 02:20, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have a link to a supposed interview where she claims that her other films before Passion were "test pictures" but I'm not sure of the validity of it. Jsforman24 (talk) 19:25, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

Why her photo is absent? Tell, please. (It's user from Russia.) Kirill-Hod (talk) 06:37, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

". . .first-round pick for the performance of the cinematic medium".[edit]

This Entertainment Weekly article explains why the authors consider "Falconetti’s turn as the sainted martyr is a first-round pick for the performance of the cinematic medium."
