Talk:Joan Lorring

Birth name
Several variations are given. I have gone with the Washington Post revised obituary. I suspect the name "Mary Magdelene Ellis" is a WP originating error, introduced to the infobox in 2008. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 12:54, 25 September 2016 (UTC).


 * And the claim that she was also known as "Ann Ellis" is not supported by the two primary sources given. The first source is a 1934 passenger list which records Ania Ellis and Madeline Ellis (mother and daughter, presumably) arriving in the USA by ship from China. The second source is a Social Security Death Index record for Ann Ellis, 1904-1995, not 1994 as stated in the article. I suspect some WP editor has confused the mother's name with the daughter, and probably the mother's year of death too. Muzilon (talk) 11:10, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
