Talk:Q'orianka Kilcher (actress)

Said by who?
Movie studio executives are said to have been less than impressed at the prospect of releasing a passionate embrace between Farrell, then 28, and the then-14-year-old Q'Orianka. It is said that they ordered the scene to be trimmed to avoid releasing child pornography.

Some evidence please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brodey (talk • contribs) 19 January 2006

"Sex and the Single Squaw by Jessica Winter December 19th, 2005 6:58 PM

Terrence Malick's The New World is an anxious object, a $30 million art movie about the much disputed and misappropriated tale of John Smith and Pocahontas, and as such it's appropriately rife with conflict: man versus the elements, hometown Indians versus English interlopers, nature-trance contemplation versus smokin' action sequences. Perhaps the most palpable tension for the filmmakers derived from the nature of the relationship between Jamestown settler Smith and Pocahontas, his Algonquian Indian ally and supposed lover. Reportedly, studio lawyers insisted that love scenes between Colin Farrell and then 14-year-old Q'orianka Kilcher be reshot to ensure compliance with child pornography laws."

"December 19, 2005 Colin Farrell makes child porn Filmmakers of The New World have apparently re-shot scenes where Collin Farrell makes out with a 14-year old Q'Orianka Kilcher because it's making lawyers nervous that they might be making child porn."

I've been covering Q'Orianka's involvement in this project since the filming of this movie and this story was widely circulated in the press. You should be able to find over a dozen web sources to confirm it with little effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.51.198 (talk • contribs) 27 January 2006

I would actually dispute that. The Village Voice source - a tounge-in-cheek opinion piece - says some scenes were "reportedly" re-shot. Reported by whom?! Can we really rely on a report of a report without any direct quote from anyone involved? And I don't think I need to tell you that the Superficial saying something "apparently" happened is NOT a credible source. I want to remove the passage, as it smacks of tabloid gossip, but I think I will rather remove the cite note, put in a citation needed tag, and give people a chance to find a more reliable source.

Name
Is Kilcher her mother's name? User:Zoe|(talk) 21:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes... --Gonzakun


 * Why does she use her mother's surname rather than her father's? And is her father named in the article? Badagnani 00:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Because her father left before she was born.

Activism
Her work for human rights, indigenous rights, women's rights, should be mentioned in the article. Badagnani 03:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * sources needed

Pronounciation
How is her name pronounced? I heard it as "Kew-Orianka" Pictureuploader (talk) 10:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Orthography: move
This page should be moved to Q'orianka Kilcher, which can be done by an admin only. The apostrophy in Quechua stands for a glottal stop. Q'uri (Q'ori in AMLQ orthography) means "gold", anka means "eagle". The pronunciation is something like "Kawree ahnkah", but after the first "Q" breath is interrupted for a moment. -- PhJ (talk) 10:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
