Birth data

There's a number of sources (reliable?) that report her being born on 2 April 1933 or 1934; or in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. Here's a source that has both of those things. Any ideas where these alternative histories come from? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 20:49, 22 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Rabaul

Her parents were medical specialists in Rabaul, at the time. The mother may have travelled to Brisbane for the birth. 220.244.238.166 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:44, 31 July 2011 (UTC). reply

But we're saying she was born in Mooloolaba, quite some distance from Brisbane. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 12:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC) reply

Trivia

Wasn't "The Angel who pawned her harp" the last film Diane Cilento made before having a nose job?

Souldn't the photographic section read Actress and Authoress? AT Kunene ( talk) 15:29, 10 October 2011 (UTC) reply

She is survived by her children

Seriously? Remove this crap. I was confused and thought she was kept on life support by the whim of her children. "Survived by her children" is sentimental, not literal, and doesn't belong on Wikipedia. 121.222.33.32 ( talk) 20:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC) reply

When someone dies, it's a perfectly standard thing to mention who in their family is left. This could include: one or both parents; the current spouse and/or any number of ex-spouses; one or more of their children; grandchildren etc. I don't see how you could possibly read life support into this. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 20:53, 8 August 2013 (UTC) reply

Sean Connery: Barbara Walters interview.

Without citing a source, the article currently states: "However, there is a video interview with Barbara Walters where Connery said he has not changed his opinion and if it is merited, it's okay to slap a woman."

Googling turns up potential sources such as Newsweek and news.com.au articles. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources states that, post-2013, Newsweek should not be considered generally reliable. I don't have any personal familiarity with news.com.au on which to base a judgement of its reliability.
