Talk:Melanie Pullen

Inspiration
We're told:


 * Pullen has noted that one of her inspirations was grandmother Ann Guilfoyle, the photo editor at Autobon Magazine and founder of The Guilfoyle Report. Pullen's grandfather George Hornby started Domesday Press and worked as a freelancer or staff member with Knopf, Crown, Random House, Crowell-Collier, Rowman & Littlefield, and Farrar Straus & Young. He designed Mr. President, a biographical study of Harry S. Truman in 1951 with whom he worked. Kathleen Guilfoyle, Pullen's mother, is a painter and supported her family through painting murals in Manhattan's Greenwich Village and through peddling her works on the streets of New York; she's been married six times and has three children. Earl Pullen, Pullen's father has played professional pool for many years and is considered[who?] one of the best one-pocket players in the US.

How has any of these inspired her? -- Hoary (talk) 09:24, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Puff piece
Many of the elements of this article, for an individual of debatable notability, are subjective comments on her skills. Without a full re-write, it is little more than PR puff. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.198.167 (talk) 00:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Big Hairy POV issues -- Somebody hang a tag on it; I don't know how - Sadsaque (talk) 00:25, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I have pulled a lot of this out of it. -Lopifalko (talk) 10:52, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Should "Autobon Magazine" be "Audubon" magazine? More important, George Hornby was Ann Guilfoyle's father and Pullen's great-grandfather. I know this because he was my uncle. What his publishing career has to do with Melanie's photography is beyond me. Anthony Willard. BrennenderSorge (talk) 10:44, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
