The acidic effect of the poisonous agent was an immediate cause of death which propelled her body through a decorative glass screen.
Her death propelled her? The poisonous agent propelled her? She became agitated by what was happening to her body and was flailing around and fell through a screen? Or is it just vandalism? -- JackofOz ( talk) 11:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone ever noticed that the actress Rachel Roberts committed suicide in the exact same manner ten years later?JK —Preceding

Assuming arguendo that she did in fact commit suicide in 1970, does anyone know why? The entry mentions that she had previously tried to kill herself when she was "linked" to Bing Crosby. Had she been "linked" to someone in 1970? Did she leave a note? Did anyone close to her ever say anything about her mental state? Did her "secret" husband ever say anything? (...) If she did commit suicide, I might speculate that it was associated with her two marriages, and (the possible) related disappointment. Interestingly (and unfortunately) her two episodes on "The Twilight Zone" concerned love, interpersonal relationships, identity and death. I presume it is not uncommon that one plays oneself on the screen. Additionally, Inger may have been disillusioned with America, as compared with her home country of Sweden. 65.96.185.47 ( talk) 04:56, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
An Inger Stevens biography would link together much of the Sixties. Nothing really compares to the shock and sadness of Marilyn Monroe's death, but Inger Stevens's death at the end of the Sixties-- announced as a suicide-- had that kind of effect. She had staked out a Donna Reed position as gorgeous, but terribly "nice." She may not have scored quite as highly as Raquel Welch on 1970 beauty polls, but she was close; and she would have been top of the list on "who would you like to marry?" Why did she do it? It would be a good book, like the Frances Farmer books, on this neglected cultural icon. Wikipedia would be a fine place to begin to assemble the materials for that future scholar.

I'm a little disturbed by the oversight by the writer of this article in denoting Ike Jones' occupation as an actor. The man was a TV and Film Producer. While his wikipedia page says that he played bit parts, it goes on to list his producing credentials which connotes his actual career was producing not acting. I know people who have wanted to become actors, played bit parts, decided they weren't going to pursue acting, and then became a teacher. You wouldn't say that person is an actor. Neither would anyone say of Ronald Reagan only that he was an actor, omitting his most notable career as President of the United States. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.94.151 ( talk) 12:46, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
In this photo with outdated cinematography, Stevens is sitting next to Jones and appears to be wearing a wedding dress. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:447:4101:AE6:6037:9EDB:43BD:F5E ( talk) 03:05, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
The wedding dress-like attire was actually from a banquet in 1968. [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:447:4101:AE6:6037:9EDB:43BD:F5E ( talk) 03:14, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

I found a video excerpt online from an Entertainment Tonight report by host Mary Hart looking back at the career and death of Inger Stevens. Unfortuntely there is no date for the episode segment for use as a reference in the article (the report itself not the video). Before the video cuts off at 2:29, there are oncamera comments by her personal assistant Ms. Chris Bone ( IMDb), actor Anthony Quinn on their relationship, and author William T. Patterson, who wrote a biography of Stevens that is cited in the article. There is drive-by footage of her home where she died and a wider angle photo showing more guests in the dinner party photo seated next to Jones. I did not upload the video, but if you are an Inger Stevens researcher, you might want to save the video for your personal use in case it disappears from online. Here is another site where the uploader explains why they cut the remaining 30 seconds and what is missing (more from Anthony Quinn they say). I checked Quinn's IMDb page for an ET self appearance to try to date it, but found none. 5Q5 ( talk) 11:58, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
The page says that Stevens graduated from Manhattan High School in 1952, she had already run away to Kansas City and then New York by that point. The source indicates only that she attended Manhattan High School, not graduated. Safe to say that an edit would make sense here?
Her brother, Ola Stensland (1936-2011) emerged as an artist in New York City during the art renaissance of the sixties. Ola met and associated with many of the ground breaking artists of the time. During this period he was sponsored by John Chamberlain and Richard Pousette-Dart for a Guggenheim Scholarship. In the summer of 2010 Ola had a well received art show in South Pasadena, Ca. Three days after his show closed he was diagnosed with a return of his lung cancer. He passed away June 21, 2011. Inger's niece, Athena Ashburn Stensland, produced the acclaimed film entitled "Bobby" that was based on RFK that went on to be nominated for "Best Picture" for a Golden Globe. 72.11.232.250 ( talk) 20:28, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
