1952, 1957 or 1960? The article has said 1960 for some time, until someone changed it to 1957 this evening. IMDB says 1960, so which is right? I have reverted the changes for now, but think we should get this referenced and thus sorted out. Comments welcome. TheRetroGuy ( talk) 20:33, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Dunno if it's "notable" or whatever, but she was a heroin addict [3]. 86.144.25.251 ( talk) 13:02, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Don't know if it significant enough to include that as a result of dating a teenage John Otway, she is referenced in his song "Racing Cars". 86.165.184.186 ( talk) 18:40, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
What's Magenta De Vine doing now? I can't find absolutely anything about her, online (about her current life). I can't even find, as well as where exactly she was born, if she's married or has children (nor can I even find what she looks like now; I can only ever find old images of her, as well as stuff about her past). I've always thought her to be such a nice, friendly, chirpy sort of person - exactly who TV needs more people like. Why does she even always wear those sunglasses? There's no way she can have ugly eyes, that she has to always keep them hidden from the public! Ofcdeadbeat ( talk) 19:13, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
I've put her name as Magenta De Vine, as that was her credited name during her TV Career - see How We Met: Magenta De Vine and David Okuefuna and BBC Genome search for Magenta De Vine. It also appears as 'Magenta de Vine' and actually on the Rough Guide (BBC) end credits it actually has her signature in that form too. ( Rough Guide to Havana (BBC2, Series3)) So that may be as definitive as you can get. -- Dafyddt ( talk) 21:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
User:GiantSnowman, The career section already includes the couple of lines about addiction and bankruptcy in a better way. you have now added it twice. IMHO the bankruptcy part is deserved in the career section. The addiction might have also led to it so overall I feel the part should continue to remain there and your edits should basically be reverted back. your thoughts ? FYI it is nominated for WP:ITN/C -- DBig Xrayᗙ 13:22, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
Just noticed that this article refers to it as as ITV documentary series, yet in Young, Gifted and Broke it's described as a sitcom - but not using any sources. Autarch ( talk) 21:19, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
