Talk:Amanda Righetti/Archive 1

Amanda's Birthday
I've found a site that states her birthday as April 1, 1984 and one that is August 5, 1984. Can anyone confirm? -- Hotwine8, 18:55, 20 January 2006

69.229.11.195 fixed two things but 77.182.137.4 reverted them. Why? Amanda's official site http://www.amandarighetti.com/Bio.aspx confirms that she was "Born in St. George, Utah." but raised in Las Vegas. That is something 69.229.11.195 had fixed. It is also now clear that her real year or birth is 1983 rather than 1984. According to 69.229.11.195, the info on her birthdate being April 4, 1983 comes from Amanda herself.

Here are more sources and facts that imply a birth year of 1983:
 * The October 2004 issue of FHM, page 108, quotes Amanda: "I'm only 21, but I'm in a mellow stage of life right now." 2004-21 = 1983.
 * The September 2005 issue of venice, page 10, says: "At 22, Amanda Righetti seems to be on the fast track in Hollywood. ... Born and raised in Las Vegas, she moved to Los Angeles at age 18, another pretty, starry-eyed theater girl with dreams of making it big in the entertainment industry." I don't know why the article said she was born in Las Vegas, though. 2005-22 = 1983.
 * "Angel Blade" was filmed in 2001 and in it Amanda is not only nude but in simulated sex scenes too. In the United States, a realistic full-body portrayal of simulated sex is usually considered, legally speaking, something that only actors and actresses aged 18 and older can engage in on-camera. If April 1, 1984 was her birthdate, she would be only 17 during the entirety of 2001. "Angel Blade" was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office on 9 May 2002, by Revolution Film Works, Ltd., and its Registration Number is PAu-2-660-185. Films get registered with the Copyright Office after they have been finished (including post-production). But the copyright date shown at the end of the credits in the end of the film is 2001, not 2002. The production company's website as of 5 February 2002 said: We are currently in post production for our feature film,"Angel Blade", starring David Heavener, Marc Singer, Margot Kidder, Richard Moll, Dan Martin, Louis Mandylor and Amanda Righetti. (archived at http://web.archive.org/web/20020205044523/http://www.revolutionfilmworks.com/). This means that according to their own words the filming definitely concluded before 5 February 2002, and they had already begun work on editing and other tasks. The fact that filming took place in 2001 is confirmed by Norm Clarke's column dated 31 March 2002 for the Las Vegas Review-Journal (http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2002/Mar-31-Sun-2002/news/18411885.html) which states: "Angel Blade," an erotic psychological thriller, was filmed here last year. David Heavener has also stated that the film was originally to be shot beginning on 1 April 2001, but that the filming got postponed. It is clear that filming of Amanda's sex scenes took place sometime between 2 April 2001 and 31 December 2001. On the DVD commentary section about scenes featuring Amanda Righetti, David Heavener said: "You better believe unexplored, she only just turned 18 years old." Since they are talking about kissing scenes, and this is in the context of her age in the film, that implies to me that she was 18 when the sex scene was made.
 * The user "Rodrageous" on 15 August 2004 claimed in the "IMDb message board for Amanda Righetti" attached to her biography page: She's 21. A year behind me at Green Valley high school. Worked with and knew her in the theatre dept. ... She was class of 2001 ... 2004-21 = 1983.
 * The user "lordstanley9192" in July and August 2004 wrote, in the same IMDb board: i went to middle school with her here in las vegas. i know she was one year ahead of me so im sure shes 21. Again, 2004-21 = 1983.

The confusion might stem from the following sources:
 * The October 2005 issue of FHM claims Amanda was born in 1984.
 * The May 2006 issue of FHM says Amanda Righetti was 22. (Though that was probably the age she was when they wrote the piece, not when it was published.)
 * IMDb, which sometimes has fraudulent birthdates on actors and actresses, lists "1 April 1984" as Amanda's birthdate on her profile at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1119462/ but the authority of the person who added the data is unknown.

Fair Use
Anyone can look at the cover at the newstand, therefore the image would qualify under fair use.--Nick Dillinger 22:10, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Amanda Righetti: italian or not?
Amanda Righetti can be an italian name, but in a famous italian movie there is a character called "Amanda Righetti": are you sure it's her real name? --Friends007 16:11, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Pregnant?
Is her pregnancy going to be written into the show? It's not obvious yet, but you can see it in her hips. Won't be able to hide it for much longer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.91.104 (talk) 07:00, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, right...just because an actress doesn't fit the stereotypical Hollywood skin-and-bones look, she must be pregnant. She's not, obviously. Look at recent pics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.226.146.190 (talk) 14:27, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Not "confidential"
Re: this edit, which claimed that her switching talent agencies was confidential information. It is not: It is business-oriented news publicly reported in a major trade publication. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

IMDb
Wikipedia does not consider IMDb a reliable source. Two editors have removed individual citation requests, and I have not reverted. Instead, I have begun a dialogue on the second editor's talk page. Template tags, however, should not be removed without discussion; I have added a preexisting template tag. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:54, 24 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Also, regarding the edit-summary messages: The first editor who removed the citation requests wrote, "removing several citation tags, the imdb page is ref below." When the cite reqs were restored, the second editor wrote, "Don't think you understood previous editor, IMDb is *not* being used as ref, it *is* being used as EL."


 * However, the first editor specifically says that IMDb is being used as a reference: "ref" means "reference." And IMDb can only be a "for further reading" External link and not a reference. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:20, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
