This needs sourcing; there are plenty of urban legends positing that various act(ors)(resses) had high IQs.
Rather than mentioning IQ, I think at least one anecdote discusses her extraordinary memory.-- Jrm2007 ( talk) 05:33, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
I agree with the hint from Jrm2007: IQ is a red herring in the best of cases, and any IQ test of her day would likely have been on the Stanford-Binet scale, which topped out at 145. A statement like, "IQ of 172" is rather like "had bazillions of dollars." If there is a source, the source is indicted by the number. Since there isn't a source, this just doesn't need to be there. Furthermore, an actress on Broadway who is off book on a long play is not going to be the ditz that Ms. Holliday played. Anyone who believes that an actress is her part, especially after reading the biography, is not going to be cured of misconceptions by a Wikipedia article.

It has been reported that Judy Holliday was a Lesbian. The only printed source I could find is the book "Hollywood Gays" by Boze Hadleigh. It stated that she had a significant relationship with a female police officer. 76.124.117.121 ( talk) 13:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)buddmar
I feel strongly that the internal link to English physicist Jonathan Oppenheim has nothing to do with Ms. Holliday's son. Thoughts? Patricia Meadows ( talk) 07:15, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

It strikes me as pretty odd to say someone's survived by their ex-husband. Is this usual? Dchudz ( talk) 19:49, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
I've seen newspaper obituaries where surviving ex-spouses are listed among the survivors; it can happen if the two persons remained close after the divorce, etc. Maccb ( talk) 03:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
She was credited with co-writing the theme music for the 1965 film version of AThousand Clowns with her long-time partner, baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan. Unfortunately, she died months before the film's release. Maccb ( talk) 03:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
The article says she and Gerry Mulligan were married. Is there any record for this statement. Everywhere I have looked just lists them as partners. 86.16.153.234 ( talk) 18:08, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
She was a communist, by trying to `explain' and play dumb, she was lying and covering up the truth to the matter of the fact that she was indeed a Communist or at least a Communist sympathizer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.149.122.162 ( talk) 14:09, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
I have never read anything that said Ms Holliday had anything other than breast cancer. It wasn't talked about at the time, because there was much more stigma. 2600:387:F:4330:0:0:0:4 ( talk) 01:13, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Under ‘Personal life and death’ - wonder why was included the aside, “(Mutual friend Leonard Bernstein had written Oppenheim five years earlier, in the context of Bernstein's struggles with his sexuality, that Bernstein had thought of marrying Holliday as a beard.)”? This is not included in Bernstein’s wikiarticle, does not relate directly to Holliday, is irrelevant, extraneous, impertinent trivia, seems not to be encyclopedic, and seems to be included in WP:NOTEVERYTHING.
