The link to "Anchors Aweigh" points to the wrong Wiki article. It should point to the article about the film "Anchors Aweigh" as opposed to the song. If I knew how to fix it I would. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.62.186.178 ( talk) 20:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
When one opens the article to edit, the first thing that you see is a hidden note which says "please do not add an infobox, per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Opera#Infoboxes". My issue with this is that Grayson's opera career encompasses all of one sentence in the entire article, while the rest of the article discusses her more notable film career, for which she has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for film. I feel that this article should have an actor infobox in keeping with the primary reason Grayson is notable. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 13:10, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Overall, there has never been a discussion here that Grayson is predominantly an Opera singer, that a consensus concluded that the WP Opera project preferences is what should be followed, and in fact, nothing's ever been discussed about this article's placement. I believe we have consensus that an infobox is proper here due to what established her notability. An infobox will be added. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 06:00, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Also, we do not know how she died, so it's not right to speculate either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.14.106 ( talk) 20:31, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Seriously dude, what else could an 88-year-old die from if they weren't the victim of an accident or violent crime or didn't have a fatal illness? Not many people are lucky enough to reach that age, let alone live past it. 24.189.90.68 ( talk) 02:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
do you have an autopsy report proving her cause of death? no. then you cannot simply declare that it was natural can you? also many people are now living past 100 and science deserves to know what happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.14.106 ( talk) 04:41, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
There are some sentences that jar me when I read them because the author stuck some words in that don't make sense where they are. Here are a couple of them.
"However, the studio executives were not satisfied, and she went through a further six months of lessons until she made her first film appearance was in 1941's Andy Hardy's Private Secretary as the character's secretary Kathryn Land." (the word 'was' is not needed)
"Her casting in The Merry Widow led to her being cast as Queen Guinevere in 1962 in Camelot, a well regarded replacement for Julie Andrews in the Broadway production, before continuing in the role for over sixteen months in the national tour of the United States, leaving the show for health reasons." (The phrase 'a well regarded replacement' just hangs there and needs some addition wording)
"This came after a month of reconciliation after a judge dismissed their divorce suit." (Awkward structure)
The use of the word 'however' is also awkward in places. In general, the word 'however' can separate a couple of clauses, or start a sentence. In several sentences here, 'however' is preceeded by a comma where it would be best if that comma were a period and 'however' started a new sentence.
I know: picky, picky, picky. This is what I do because I paid attention in English class.
Kathryn Grayson isn’t wearing gloves in the Madama Butterfly scene in “The Toast of New Orleans,” so it’s not possible for her to have put brass in her gloves. In interviews she said Mario Lanza was like a brother to her. Trillian Stars ( talk) 11:54, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
