Talk:Gesine Bullock-Prado

Helga Meyer
The article on her mother is about to be deleted, so I'm going to park that article's (04:42, 20 August 2014‎ UTC) here:

Helga Mathilde Meyer (12 February 1942 – 24 March 2000) was a German opera singer and educator.

==Personal life and career==

She was born in Nuremberg, Germany, her father was a rocket scientist. Meyer taught voice at Mary Washington College for many years; in 1977 she was a featured singer at the Salzburg Festival. She would sing in European Opera tours, and was a frequent performer at Staatstheater Nürnberg, where her daughter Sandra, who spent a large part of her time in Nuremberg until she was 12, first started performing in the children's choir. Meyer's vocals can be heard on the soundtrack of All About Steve, a film her daughter produced and starred in.

Helga also was the owner of Nina, a Briard championship show dog.

Her daughters are Academy Award winning actress Sandra Bullock and Celebrity chef Gesine Bullock-Prado, who has appeared on many talks shows with cooking demonstrations. Both of Bullock-Prado's books, My Life from Scratch and Confessions of a Closet Master Baker are dedicated in memory of Helga. There is also a special cake she has created and named 'Helga Cake', in her memory.

==Death==

Meyer died at age 58 of colon cancer in Arlington, Virginia. She was married to John W. Bullock, whom she met while Bullock was in the US Army in Germany. He was a soldier and music teacher, and is now CEO of Bullock's film production company, Fortis Films, which was founded in 1995 with Meyer. They produced Gun Shy, in which Helga is thanked in the end credits.

In her Academy Award speech, Bullock thanked her mother, referring to her as Helga B.

Gesine Bullock-Prado → Gesine Prado – She has been credited for the last few years as Gesine Prado.  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 18:23, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose: This does not appear to meet WP:COMMONNAME. I searched Google News using  (which would show either name) and got back 10/10 top results using Gesine Bullock-Prado (all from 2023). Her own articles for today.com still use this name, as does her Instagram and 2023 book. When I searched specifically for   the top news results were all local to Vermont.
