Talk:Kathleen Rockwell

Kates Needle
Somewhere I think I saw mention that this well-known summit was a reference to her, but I have no immediate citation on that. Also noting that Mae West's character Diamond Lll is said to have been modelled on her; isn't there also a film by the name Klondike Kate? - yup see this IMDB listing. Also that theatre in BC mentioned may have been the Savoy, in the 100 blk W Cordova, which was one of the very first, though there are a couple of other possibilites; I'll source someone who might know, or know how to find out.....could be her proper name is in the city registry/directory in the city archives, we'll see....Skookum1 (talk) 21:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Kansas and Dakota?
How could she be born in both Kansas and Dakota? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.229.198.231 (talk) 19:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

And what about : "Near the end of her life she married a miner named John Matson, who remained in Alaska as she stayed in Oregon. They were together for 13 years". How could they be together in any sense if after marriage they lived in different states? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 05:06, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Ambiguous sentence
From the article:
 * She garnered notoriety for her flirtatious dancing and ability to keep hard-working miners happy if not inebriated.

Who was inebriated? Rockwell or the miners? J I P &#124; Talk 21:54, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
