Talk:Alex Borstein

Mongolian

Just clearing this up - more likely than not, what she means when she says "Mongolian" is that her grandmother or whoever was Jewish from Mongolia - i.e. not actually Asian or an ethnic Mongolian. Mad Jack O'Lantern 07:35, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I think that she is seperately of Hungarian, Mongolian and Jewish descent, but I could be wrong. Uglytriangle999 (talk) 14:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Birth Year

I noticed someone already tried to change it. Here is a link to her forum where she says that her birth year is 1973 and not 1971, I don't think you can get a more reliable source than that.

Agreed. When it showed up in the recent changes list from an an anon IP address it looked suspicious, so I changed it back, and noted the IMDB source, and frankly, almost every other reference to her DOB on the net, but I'm sure they all got it from IMDB or here. But I suspect Alex herself on her site is a pretty reliable source. Unless, of course, she's trying to make herself younger for better roles, but I vote for giving her the benefit of the doubt.  ;-) Gavroche42 14:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

No mention of Drop Dead Gorgeous In a Down to Earth Bombshell Sort of Way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.118.54 (talk) 02:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

the simpsons?

I didn't find anything about that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.89.69.167 (talk) 13:41, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

This needs a citation why?

I'm confused by a 'citation needed' tag on this sentence, "She was seen in the 2009 comedy For Christ's Sake, which was directed by her then husband Jackson Douglas."

When you go to the page for that film, it lists Jackson Douglas as the directed and says that the movie starts Alex Borstein - and it lists Jackson Douglas as her husband on this page, without a citation tag on it. So, why would that sentence need its own citation, when it's self-evident from the rest of the wikis on Borstein, Douglas and the For Christ's Sake film?

Birth year

Several sources have said either 1971 or 1973 for her birth year. What is her birth year here and which sources are more reliable? 2600:100C:A21D:971A:B475:949D:8EB4:74CB (talk) 19:22, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

If born in 73, her listed high school graduation would put her as a high school graduate at 16.

71 is likely correct. Augmented Seventh (talk) 16:23, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

@Augmented Seventh why now the article say 1973? 137.204.150.30 (talk) 08:32, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
