Bogosity check
The article on Levittown, as well as decades worth of scattered reading on the subject, would lead me to believe that Levittown did not exist in 1944. Unfortunately, there appears to be a school of thought on Wikipedia that empty infobox paramaters need to be filled, and factual accuracy be damned. Lots of biography articles suffer from this same problem, with dubious or outright bogus birthplaces inserted. Lazy journalism only exacerbates this problem.RadioKAOS (talk) 01:14, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I suppose there could have been a few homes in the area prior to the establishment of the development, but it seems unlikely. Tucker describes herself as "from Levittown," but that doesn't mean she was necessarily born there.  I found a couple of references that say she was born in New Jersey, but nothing definitive.    Surely there's a reliable reference out there somewhere.--Koppas (talk) 20:23, 21 April 2012 (UTC)


 * This book on Levittown mentions her, and suggests that she was born in the hospital in East Meadow. --Rosekelleher (talk) 12:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * This more recent book (2012) by Rob Jovanovic says she was born in Jackson Heights. --Rosekelleher (talk) 14:47, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Levittown was not constructed until 1947–48. The 1950 census shows that she and her parents lived at 335 Woodfield Rd, which is in in West Hempstead. That's about 7 miles away from Levittown, but might have been one of the Levitt developments in the area. --ABehrens (talk) 23:34, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

"Moe in Bondage"
Not sure where to put this, but it seems worth mentioning, not because it's a great work of art (the author goes on to express disappointment at how un-hot it is, all things considered) but because it's an Andy Warhol film, and because (frankly) it's funny:

In 1966, Tucker starred in an Andy Warhol film titled The Velvet Underground A.K.A. Moe in Bondage (31:38, B/W). In the film Tucker, dressed in leather and sunglasses, smiles and sits passively while Reed and Morrison tie her to a chair and Gerard Malanga reads from Michael Leigh's book, The Velvet Underground.
