Why, when she couldn't? - Nunh-huh 23:40, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

This entry is identical to the biography on IMDB. And "farceur" would indicate a male. Try "farceuse." 172.130.49.81 12:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)RKH Dates given in first paragraphs for stage appearances, films are off by one century! S/be in the 1900 century, not 2000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.226.84.211 (talk) 03:30, 9 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

vaudeville?

This article says she "found work" in vaudeville in the 1940's. Where was that? Vaudeville was long dead by the 1940's. (per the Wikipedia article on same) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.152.107.173 (talk) 06:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

mad,mad,world

Why class her appearance in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" as a voice actress when she is clearly seen on screen? MBG 203.171.196.49 (talk) 11:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

IPA

I assumed that "sue" represents the way I pronounce that word, like "soo". If it means a British-style "sue", the IPA transcription needs a "j" before the "u". —JerryFriedman (Talk) 02:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Year of birth

Zasu's gravestone states her birth year was 1900. I would think her family would know what year she was born! All contemporary articles I have found also states she was 63 years old when she died, and as she died in 1963, 1900 would be her correct year of birth. IMDB and Find-a-Grave are NOT reliable sources! Could someone please change Zasu's year of birth in this article?--Nentinel (talk) 01:03, 19 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

added: I did it myself, and hope noone minds. But surely a gravestone is more proof than random comments at before-mentioned websites?

However, gravestones can be wrong and often are: Joan Crawford (1908 says grave; 1905 say records), Irene Dunne (1901 says grave; 1898 say records), Peter Finch (grave says 1912; all written evidence indicates 1916) and Bing Crosby (grave says 1904; everyone else says 1903) are cases in point. I would never have thought Zasu was born as late as 1900. I think actual records need to be sourced for this. Crisso (talk) 18:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

pronounced /ˈseɪzuː ˈpɪts/

Shouldn't this be "/ˈzeɪsuː ˈpɪts/"? (I believe I remember hearing her pronounce it that way.) Kostaki mou (talk) 22:03, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Scratch that. I should have read further. Sorry! Kostaki mou (talk) 22:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
