So Fix It

Parker was a very big name in Hollywood during the 40s and 50s, so I am correcting that. Masked Angel 18:57, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I thought this woman had died recently.

She died today, 9 December 2013. Quis separabit? 23:46, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Handling of ashes after cremation

I have reworded a portion of the text that read, "... with half of her ashes scattered at sea and the remainder buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, Lot 3799, Eternal Love, the plot of her husband, Raymond Hirsch, who predeceased her in July 2001." The cited source says nothing about half-and-half distribution of her ashes. It mentions the cemetery and adds, "Other sources list her scattered at sea."

Breaking champagne bottle

I have commented out "Parker broke the champagne bottle on the nose of the California Zephyr train, to mark its inaugural journey from San Francisco on March 19, 1949." It appeared in the Warner Bros. subsection, but it has no apparent connection to the studio. Also, it is not cited. Perhaps someone will want to put it elsewhere in the article and supply a citation.
