Re-editing
I removed and tweaked and reworded as best I could this article which has/had some serious editing issues. Too much cruft and name dropping. Linkfarms fixed as best I could. Sometimes less is better. Quis separabit? 23:43, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Trivia
Atkins claims to have been propositioned by Colin Farrell on location in 2004, shortly before she turned 70; she said the incident helped her pass that milestone far more easily than she otherwise would have expected. The Oldie magazine awarded her the 'Refusenik of the Year' award for this incident. (The reference doesn't appear to hold up either - click on it and I can't find the story mentioned, so the content is unsupported by a reliable source. )

I removed this as it is the stuff of a chat show anecdote but does not really belong in a personal life section, and certainly not given more coverage, covered in more detail than both her marriages. A reference to a story in the Mirror, and a sarcastic award in The Oldie, really - this is just trivial gossipy rubbish. If restored I suggest it is given one sentence. 78.144.80.136 (talk) 15:58, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Child of the Moon
Child of the Moon" was the b-side to The Rolling Stones song "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1968).


 * Child of the Moon – promotional video - Directed by Michael LIndsay-Hogg, Photographs by Peter Shillingford - On the making of the video: The next day (after the Jumping Jack Flash promo clips), the Stones and Eileen Atkins, then a young actress, got together to finish filming footage for ‘Child of the Moon’. “We went into the country for the shoot,” says Lindsay-Hogg. “In addition to Eileen, we also had a child, and Mick and Keith were to appear on horseback at one point.” “It was filmed in Epping Forest,” Eileen Atkins recalls. “I was paid fifty quid for an afternoon’s work, and it was all rather glamorous to be working with the Rolling Stones. I was impressed with Mick that day, and I do recall that I did my first take very badly indeed. Michael gently said, ‘I don’t think we want it quite like that. Let’s do it again,’ and Mick never gave the slightest clue that he thought I’d just been terrible. He was very charming, and I came to the conclusion that he did have a brain after all.”When filming ended it was minus one scene.

Birth date
If she in fact was born on June 15th, shouldn't that be the date we use with the same explanation as now, just as with Willie Nelson and Woody Allen? DrKilleMoff (talk) (talk) 13:52, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
