her birth

I had been told, by my grandmother, who grew up in Minneapolis and may have known her, that Ann Sothern was a foundling, without any identification, and the local newspaper (or the orphanage) had a contest to name the baby -- and the winning entry was Harriet Lake BECAUSE of the nearby Lake Harriet (there is a Lake Harriet in both North Dakota and Minnesota).173.79.237.45 (talk) 15:36, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Harriet Lake and her parents turn up in North Dakota in the 1920 census just as described in the article. 74.104.189.176 (talk) 13:37, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

last film role in 1987 vs. retired in 1984 208.127.59.65 (talk) 17:02, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Too damned long.

Does Ann Southern really rate an article this long??? She was a "B" movie and TV sitcom actress. Does wikipedia exist just because someone's grandkid wants to write a paean to a semi-famous relative???User:JCHeverly 01:40, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No movie with Ann Sothern in a prominent role should be considered a "B movie." She dominates every scene she is in. Watch Fritz Lang's "Blue Gardenia" for example. Her peers held her in highest esteem. Jackaroodave (talk) 20:39, 29 November 2023 (UTC) Jackaroodave (talk) 20:39, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

YES, she does/did [JRM] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.188.117.67 (talk) 05:00, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The TV sitcom "Private Secretary" was the first with a female lead, who was NOT a servant or the wife of a male lead. That alone is justification. "That Girl" starring Marlo Thomas did not air until the 1960s. 67.247.59.70 (talk) 03:20, 23 July 2017 (UTC)anderonia[reply]
