Talk:Jodie Sands

Jamboree
Is this the same Jodie Sands who appeared in the 1957 film Jamboree? TheRetroGuy (talk) 12:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like she is, so I'll add the imdb link. TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Possible birth and death details
Assuming that her birth name was Eleanor Disipio.....   The only person I can find of that name was born February 19, 1923 in Norristown, Pennsylvania - just outside Philadelphia. (Do the 1950s publicity photos look as though she's 30+? Quite possibly, in my view.)  She married Edward Sobotka, who died in 1979. Eleanor G. Sobotka died on March 21, 2009, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, aged 86 - death notice here. Was that Jodie Sands? Quite possibly, but we would need some corroborating evidence before adding it to the article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:45, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Revisiting this after a few more years....  None of the user-generated family trees for Eleanor Gloria Sobotka  Disipio seem to mention anything about her being a singer. There was an Eleanor Desipio (note the spelling), who was born on December 23, 1919 (making her 38 at the time of her hit), possibly in Philadelphia, and died in Philadelphia on August 22, 1996 - however, her birth name was Elenora (or Eleanor) Masciantonio. This may be the origin of the 1996 death date, but we have no information to confirm it, or otherwise. Ghmyrtle (talk) 17:25, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
