Year of birth changed to 1909 per Kay Thompson's bio, KayThompson: From Funny Face to Eloise, by Sam Irvin, published by Simon & Schuster. Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 14:15, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
Thompson's first husband's article should be merged and redirected to that of Thompson as, IMHO, he does not reach threshold of notability for own article. Will research further and withdraw should sufficient evidence of notability emerge. Quis separabit? 00:24, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
It is about time that someone added Kay's secret fling with Andy Williams. Was it really that long? Understand that it almost had to be secret because of how scandalous it would have seemed at the time. It is different today with changing American social mores and ' cougars' openly promoting their lifestyles. Heff01 ( talk) 21:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
Thompson is probably best known for ‘Eloise’, and there is an angle to her creation not in the article. Thompson's deep religious beliefs were not generally known. She was, like stars Ginger Rogers and Val Kilmer, a Christian Scientist, a believer in spiritual healing of physical ills. Often when trying to help friends with problems, from the common cold or various pains, Thompson would ask, "Do you have a Bible?" If they said yes, she'd refer them to this or that passage to "uplift" their thoughts.
At the same time, Christian Scientists are taught to "honor the child within," the childlike thought that believes that God's goodness can help us right where we are no matter how stubborn the problems.
Now, this could easily have been an element in her “I am Eloise. I am six.” statements while working, that were turned into the Eloise books. Needs more research. In any case the Christian Science thing should be mentioned, as it was important to her. What started that, I wonder? More research needed. 2A00:23C7:E284:CF00:58DD:DC5F:92BB:1B37 ( talk) 01:30, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
