Kiss Me Kate[edit]

Moved this (She debuted in the movies in 1965 with a role in Kiss Me, Kate) out of article because it can't be true. There was no movie version of Kiss Me, Kate made in 1965, and a version made in 1968 was for TV so it wouldn't be a movie debut, it'd be a TV debut. If she appeared in a stage version of Kiss Me, Kate in that time period, I can't find out where. Lots of web pages seem to claim she was a chorus girl in the movie version of Kiss Me Kate in 1965, but this seems to just be something they're copying from each other without checking. Maybe a biography of Ms. Kahn would clear this up? - Nunh-huh 02:00, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Gay Icon Project[edit]

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:02, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Photo[edit]

I added an image some time back. --Ringwraith10 16:48, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Selected filmography[edit]

As per Wikipedia is not a collection of lists, I have reduced the Filmography section of Madeline Kahn (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) to just the films that have Wikipedia articles, and renamed it to Selected filmography ... people can click the IMDb External link that follows the section to see the subject's full filmography with links to information about each of their films.

Please see the template's talk page for examples of using the {{Imdb name}}, {{Imdb title}}, {{Tv.com person}}, and {{Tv.com show}} templates.

I have also used [[19xx in film|19xx]] tags for the years of the films, since [[19xx]] has little encyclopedic value.

Anonymous edits without comments may be reverted by anyone.

I am placing this boilerplate message on this Discussion page before I actually make the changes, so that I can just put "see Discussion page" in the edit summary, and hopefully not have my edit summarily reverted as vandalism by Some Other Editor.

Happy Editing! — 141.156.217.11 (talk · contribs) _{20:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)}[reply]

What, so a wikipedia article shouldn't reference entities that aren't themselves the subject of a wikipedia article? I agree there are lots of pointlessly listy wiki articles, but IMO a complete filmography is entirely appropriate for an article about an actress (especially one as important as Kahn). If you hadn't noticed, wikipedia has far outstripped Imdb as a primary point of reference 131.172.4.44 (talk) 04:42, 26 June 2008 (UTC)snaxalotl[reply]

SNL[edit]

Madeline Kahn hosted Saturday Night Live twice (First Season:May 8th 1976 & Third Season:October 8th 1977) including reprising her 'Bride of Frankenstein' (from Young Frankenstein) with the Bride singing I Feel Pretty from West Side Story (First Season:May 8th 1976) 119.11.18.204 (talk) 15:10, 4 January 2010 (UTC) MBG[reply]

She may have hosted twice but the second time was in the early 90s. 2603:8001:2A00:7428:D8CB:AE3D:F359:BC24 (talk) 18:27, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death and Cremation[edit]

Her cremation....how could she be cremated a month before her death? 24.209.142.56 (talk) 16:40, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that inconsistency. I checked the cited source which has "December 6" -- not "November 6". I have changed the text to match the source. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:41, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
