Whoever took it has a great shot of the fat man/woman behind her. Or rather it'd be a great shot if it wasn't for the RGB noise and the fact that Ms. Black isn't even looking at the camera. Way to go! -- 86.163.139.138 ( talk) 21:31, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Is it just me or does she look alittle old, in the face, to be born in 1972? 63.164.201.23 04:43, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
In some pics she looks young, in some she looks old...still she's a beautiful woman!
I think she is a bit older too! -- 24.177.0.156 ( talk) 20:05, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Ms. Black is famous for her refusal to tell her year of birth. Where was this information (1972) found for her WP article? (just curious)

Ok, IMDB seems to be a pretty reliable source of information and there's no way Claudia Black is middle aged so I'm going to change the little part about the outrageous speculation of her age. IJB TA 04:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that information on IMDB was provided by users of the site. I agree that if there is no credible source for the year of her birth than something should indicate that. I think a question mark next to the year would work out fine for now. IJB TA 20:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Why not just go and check the registry of births and then the argument is over? There's bound to be someone in Oz who can walk into the local office.
I agree. I'd always heard that Black refused to talk about her age. The DOB surprised me. Perhaps we should take it off until it comes from a more official source than IMDB. IMDB is great for who starred in what, but not for other things. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.221.152 ( talk) 14:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I'd also say that I find it VERY hard to believe that she was 27 when Farscape began. I would have said that she was in her thirties. And I don't buy that Ben Browder is ten years older than her. As someone above commented, she's a gorgeous woman, but I have a hard time believing that she's in her mid thirties. A well preserved low or mid forties seems more likely. —Preceding

I changed the photo to try something new; the other one is so washed out you can barely tell it's her. The current one is from Season 4 promotional shots, I believe. ka1iban 15:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

what evidence is there of her being newish? please explain
Has Wikipedia really got this bad, that biographies are reliant on tabloid articles which have no credible sources for evidence? seriously? What "evidence" via a reputable source is there that Claudia Black is Jewish? Can someone from Jweekly give me some credible evidence for your name mention?? http://www.jweekly.com/article/full/24038/celebrity-jews/ If there are no "sources" for the "name mention" on Jweekly, then there is absolutely no point in putting it as evidence on a wikipedia biography. I'm sure Claudia Black would agree. Let's take an example.... If someone "merely mentions my name" on a tabloid website called "who's a celebrity canadian" when I'm actually not, does that warrant myself being called a Canadian on a supposedly "factual biography on wikipedia" ?? Answer = No. Any decent editor should remove the word Jewish until you have some written proof or verbal evidence that is substantial enough to claim that Black is Jewish. Again, there are no sources on Jweekly. There seems to be a crusade by editors on Wikipedia to promote Judasim on every single actors biography, without supplying any evidence at all, except for erroneous "name mentions" on who's a celebrity jew websites.

She narrated and played a roll in Steel Angel Kurumi a Anime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.133.226 ( talk) 20:58, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
In the anime series STEEL ANGEL KURUMI, under the English voice cast in the end credits, it says "Onmyou Prayer recited by Claudia Black". If she did anymore voice over roles I would love them to be posted in her Wiki.
She reprised her role as Matriarch Aethyta in Mass Effect 3, which is currently unlisted in the 2012 voice acting credits. 99.104.179.65 ( talk) 06:09, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
I don't see any evidence that this publication has ever existed. All of the google results return someting about Claiudia, but no one else. I think this is all a fabrication.
Claudia Interview Scifi.com reports:
Even The Mutant has fears for her future Writer Paul Sheehan
Claudia Black started life as a nice private school girl in Sydney at Kambala above Rose Bay, but has since travelled a dark road, becoming a vampire, a mutant, and a warrior.
"My body count would be huge", she said. "And after September 11, I wasn't so proud of it". She has paid a high price. She has been eaten by aliens, been irreversibly contaminated, has died more than once, and is now known as the "Mutation."
In short, Claudia "Mutation" Black has been one of Australia's busiest actresses since she entered the world of science fiction five years ago, and is now the centre of a micro cult. Her own action figure sells over the internet.
"Some fans do become obsessive," she says.
She was in New York on September 11th last year, working on FARSCAPE, the American show that has kept the Mutation and several hundred other Australians employed. It is a bizarre career path for the daughter of Judy Black, professor at the University of Sydney, and Jules Black, a Sydney obstetrician and gynocologist. Their brainy ambitions for their daughter lasted just three weeks at the university. She wanted to be an actor. This led to nightclub singing, soap operas in New Zealand and sporadic roles on Australian TV until she was cast as a founding member of Farscape in 1998. The pace has been maniacal since.
"The show takes 80 hours of my time a week, and for the last four years I've only had one week off over Christmas." Farscape, a new series which starts it prime time run on Foxtel on Tuesday, has a high profile in the United States. In June the cover of the American television bible, TV Guide, featured the cast of what it called "the Sci Fi cult hit," about to air for its fourth season.
"Only 2 percent of shows ever make it to a fourth season," Black said. However Farscape's days may be numbered. Even though it has about 2 million regular viewers in the US, has rated well in the UK, and has been sold in other markets, the Sci Fi Network has just pulled the plug. Even Star Trek had to survive such a near death experience before it was saved by Trekky protests and picked up by another company.
Farscape's creator, Rockne S. O'Bannon, is working on a movie version of the show which, if it gets up, would ease the pain of uncertainty and keep a large segment of the Australian acting community employed. The show is made at Homebush Bay.
If the Farscape journey is about to end, The Mutation worries that, having turned 30 yesterday, her busiest days are already behind her. "In some ways I'll be lucky if I ever work again. There is a huge prejudice against sci fi."
Although Farscape is a US series, the only American in the otherwise Australian cast is Ben Browder, who is also the only true human among the lead charaters (granite jawed astronaut John Crighton, who is the love interest for Black's character Aeryn Sun). In real life Black lives with a "glorious man, who shall remain nameless."

I have no idea how to go about adding this as it's way outside my usual wheelhouse, but she has gone into trauma counseling as of a few years ago. This is her site for her services (obviously not something we could use for refs but perhaps external links?). She talks about it a little bit in this interview for one of her films.
