This sentence makes no sense:
But I'm not sure what an accurate edit would be! She did play Julia, right? -- Lquilter 15:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand this sentence: "In 1847, Mariella returned to the stage in the United States, as she needed to make a living following her separation." Who is Mariella?-- 98.114.178.200 ( talk) 22:24, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

I think criticism of her journal's accuracy is given undue weight, with sketchy sourcing. Compare this paragraph from the article:
... with this paragraph from the New Georgia Encyclopedia:
I'm going to attempt to rewrite the paragraph in question, but I'll wait a bit in case there are other opinions or sources. Kestenbaum ( talk) 09:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
I've moved the "Controversy" section to the end, and removed items that I could confirm were positively not supported by the cited references. I'm tempted to remove the section entirely based on the weakness of the remaining items, to wit: (1) Nearly a century after the fact, Roswell King's granddaughter claimed that Kemble was attracted to King. This notion is unsupported by contemporary sources, so it's not much to build a controversy around. (2) Kemble's assertion that King fathered the mulattos is based on hearsay from the mulattos, some of whom did not know their parentage with certainty (beyond having white fathers). Thus, it could have been some other white man rather than Roswell King. While this is possible, I don't think it is controversial; Kemble did not claim that enslaving one's children was evil only when Roswell King did it. Rob ( talk) 03:04, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
I would agree that issues of paternity are of little interest to anyone other than the granddaughter of the accused (in 1930, no less!) It can be taken as an article of faith that a white man fathered those children. The "who" is not terribly important. What I was more concerned with, was the willingness of Kemble to accept and report, uncritically, rumors and gossip about individuals and events that she had not observed (the flogging, the personality of a women she may have never met, etc.)...and that she may have been pre-disposed toward that view before arriving in Georgia. It doesn't totally discredit the writing, but it alerts the reader to the fact that parts of the text are anecdotal. That, I believe, is the value of the section. Cheers!
