Talk:Sally Jessy Raphael

Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:51, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Birthdate
The sentence about her claimed birthdate of 1943 does not make any sense. How does the birth of a child prove anything false? Gilliamjf 19:20, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Being born in 1943 would have made her VERY young when first married and pregnant. Like, ages 13 and 14 young. Dates like 1935, which are also given as much as 1943, are more believable. Sally also does not give her birth year as 1943 anymore, opting not to discuss her age at all. Mike H. That's hot 00:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Should we have the birth year as a category then? 1935 is listed... Michael 04:55, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

raphael
where did she get the name raphael from

I have never seen her spell the name as Raphaël (with the accent). Unless some one can justify it, I will remove it in a few day Mjchonoles 23:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC) Done Mjchonoles 20:29, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

High school
Where did she go to high school? PAWiki 01:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Religion
She's on the American Jews list and is considered as Jewish all over the net. Any evidence that she is Catholic as the claim on the page.? Mjchonoles 20:29, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk show
Did you notice that Sally Jessy Raphaël show has a stub article. Sally Jessy Raphael has info on the talk show but has significantly more info than the talk show article. I suggest that Sally Jessy Raphaël show be either deleted, redirected or have the talk show section in Sally Jessy Raphael be transfered to Sally Jessy Raphaël show as it would make more sense that way.

Children
Sally claims that she worked at radio station WOSO AM in San Juan, circa 1961. The documents [San Juan Superior Court storage, Barbosa Ave., San Juan] about her divorce, during the early 1960's in San Juan, P.R., will indicate that she had custody of her two children by her first husband, Vladimir; Carl [now Karl]. Soderlund, her [alleged, confirm marriage date and place] second husband did not have custody of his children after his divorce, also in San Juan Superior Court, in P.R. Those children remained with their mother,in Puerto Rico. Therefore, she couldn't EVER raised eight children. Soderlund's children always lived there with their mother, for they are totally absent from Sally's life as reported. Also, her age claims must be matched against the age of her deceased daughter, Allison, eldest born form her first marriage, who died in the early 1990's. 4jasvi (talk) 02:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Does anyone really believe Raphael was born in 1942? 1935 is more like it. Allison Vladimir was born in either 1958 or 1959 based on her age at death (33 in February 1992), which would have made Sally around 16 when Allison Vladimir was born. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 17:52, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Rocky Horror/Broadway
Sally made her Broadway debut in 2001 in Rocky Horror. That should be included. http://www.playbill.com/news/article/63785-Nice-Glasses-Sally-Jessy-Raphael-Narrates-Rocky-Horror-Dec-11-16 12.162.122.5 (talk) 15:09, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

The Red Specs…
... story sounds like pure PR, or horsefeathers, take your pick. They were consciously selected for chutzpah; notice me, remember me, hire me. 2001:8003:30A6:2100:6579:7D8:B6C7:63BB (talk) 21:21, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Picture Captions
What on earth is going on with the captions on the latter two pictures in this article? The 2nd one says she's with a fan (she's not) and the last picture is clearly not Sally Jesse(sic). Unless this woman took a dip in Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pit at 83 years of age. BigMac 06:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Borninbronx10 (talk • contribs)

Raphael-Mother’s maiden name?
It is stated that Raphael is her mother’s maiden name but that does not correspond with the information given. Doesn’t make sense. 2600:6C5D:6300:408D:E8D9:1995:D3C6:74D1 (talk) 08:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
