Talk:Ann Turkel

Birth Year

There seems to be some confusion about her birth year. Some sources say '46 while others say '55. There does seem to be some consensus that she was 19 when she did "99 44/100% Dead" which was done in 1974 which would make the '55 the correct year but I have not found a definitive answer but the 19yrs was from her personal page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadianomega (talk • contribs) 10:44, January 17, 2008

Date of birth

In recent days two editors have added an unsourced date of birth to this article. In case other editors might want to do the same thing, let me point out that in addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY).

If anyone wants to add a date of birth in the future, it should be accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published, non-primary source. Eddie Blick (talk) 23:53, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Secondary sources: there have been at least three biographies of her husband Richard Harris. One says Harris (b. 1930) was 18 years older than Turkel; another says she was 26 when they married (in 1974); and another says she was aged 16 in 1964. These suggest a birth year around 1948.

Primary sources: she is recorded as a 3-year old in the 1950 U.S. Census, which was conducted in April of that year. The New York City birth indexes have an Ann Turkel born in Manhattan on 16 July 1946, which is the birthdate given by the non-reliable IMDb among others.

In any case, the claim in Cosmopolitan that she was born in 1955 seems to be wishful thinking. Muzilon (talk) 06:35, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
