Talk:Laurie Strode

UNOFFICIAL TIMELINE AND FUTURE
I do not see any sources for this information and quite frankly it's reading like a really bad fan fiction. I know the timeline is "unoffical" but unless there is a cited source for such information, it appears to be a theory and probably doesn't belong in the main article.

This seems to be true for many Character pages for the Halloween films. I noticed that Jamie Lloyd's page was written the same way. Unless there is a source for this material, I think the pages could be made to discuss only information contained or alluded to in the films themselves.

Laurie's Real Name
In the canonical short story, Halloween: Sam, written by Stefan Hutchinson, Laurie Strode's birth name is Cynthia Myers. The story can be found here: http://www.halloweencomics.com/onlinecomics.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doghowlett18 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that, in addition to the picture of Jamie Lee Curtis, an image of Scout Taylor-Compton needs to be added to this article, to show how the character is portrayed in the remakes. She has already appeared in two Halloween films, and may appear in more, and a picture of how the character appears now should be added to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.163.105 (talk) 21:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Laurie is dead in the Unrated Director's Cut of Halloween II
Rob Zombie confirms this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.152.148 (talk) 05:21, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Laura Ann Myers?
Why is the real name Laura Ann Myers? What source is this cited from? The only official source I am aware of in which Laurie Strode has a real name was in Halloween: Sam and her name is given as Cynthia Myers. Where is this information from?Mm2dylan (talk) 19:10, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Jessica Chastain?
Someone added that Jessica Chastain is voicing Laurie in the "2022 film", Halloween Ends? Is this accurate? I added citation needed and clarification tags as I don't think it is. I can't find anything about it. Should it be removed from the page altogether?

 * I can't find anything anywhere about Jessica Chastain voicing Laurie in the 2022 film or anywhere else, so I'm going to assume this is vandalism or fanfiction. I've now removed the reference. Someone can put it back with a source attached if they find anything. --ObservantSpectator (talk) 07:56, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Problems with quote from Italian "editor", Stefano Lo Verme, and the Italian article referenced
I recently added that Stefano Lo Verme... "wrote that the 23 year old Jamie Lee Curtis was the undisputed "scream queen" of American horror in 1978". He compared..." This is an article in Italian and on much larger theme of "scream queens", not so much the trio named. It presently reads Italian magazine editor Stefano Lo Verme, wrote that the twenty-three year old Jamie Lee Curtis was the undisputed "scream queen" of American horror in 1978. He compared Curtis' performance as Laurie to the performances of Sandra Peabody as Mari Collingwood in The Last House on the Left (1972) and Marilyn Burns as Sally in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)  but the source link from movieplayer.it is in Italian, Verme, Stefano Lo (June 25, 2016). "SCREAMING ACTRESSES: FROM VERA FARMIGA TO JAMIE LEE CURTIS, THE GREAT SCREAM QUEEN BETWEEN CINEMA AND TV". Movieplayer. Retrieved January 5, 2016

The subtitle of the article (translated from Google): "From the 'pioneer' Fay Wray of the first King Kong to the parterre of divas of the American Horror Story series, passing through the leading ladies of Italian horror, with Daria Nicolodi in the lead, the stainless Jamie Lee Curtis and the other stars of the genre: an overview of the most famous "screamers" who have accompanied us along the dark paths of horror. The article is not about Jamie Lee, certainly not Laurie Strode, and it's not even about the three American actresses named. In short it's a "vanity link", it doesn't really belong here. But maybe it's the pride and joy of Mr Stefano Lo Verne or one of his fans. I hate to take it away. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.37.128 (talk) 01:12, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Halloween 4
"In Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Laurie is revealed to have died in a car accident prior to the film's events"

Wait where the heck in the film is she said to have died in a car crash? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.141.183.101 (talk) 00:51, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
