Talk:Sharon Farrell

Death Valley claim
This is not my area as I was researching references connecting claims by people to a city. Sharon is from Sioux City according to TV,com and I was going to add more references to her article but could not find any credit to Death valley or Death Valley Days.-- Rife Ideas  Talk  20:34, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

That Bruce-Lee-Thing should maybe be potrayed as "maybe"
With all respect, but except from her own claims and the author Matthew Polly, there is no second source to back this so called romantic relationship with the long deceased Bruce Lee. She wrote it down first in her Bio Sharon Farrell "Hollywood Princess" From Sioux City, Iowa (https://www.amazon.de/Sharon-Farrell-Hollywood-Princess-Sioux/dp/1477511113) back in 2013, then she told Matt Polly about it, and he brought it in his bio about Mr. Lee. Since it isn't backed up by any other Lee-Biographer and/or Historian, it shouldn't be potrayed on Wikipedia like a proven fact.

I go more into detail: Mrs Farrell stated once in a YouTube Interview (title: Studio 411 - Sharon Farrell HD, at 18,10 minutes): "When i first met Bruce [Lee], he did a flip."

Even Mr. Polly stated in an other YT-Clip (The historical accuracy of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story with Matthew Polly [between minute 7:00 and 7:30]) when speaking about the authenticity about the movie Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993): "Bruce Lee couldn't to flips, he wasn't Jackie Chan."

This should underline the story has holes or contradictions. Her accounts remind me very much on the accounts of Judyth Vary Baker, the woman who claimed she had an affair with Lee Harvey Oswald, even writing a book "Me & Lee".

Don't get me wrong, but Mrs. Farrell did put her romantic relationship with Lee in a time period when Lee's widow Linda Lee Cadwell was pregnant with their daughter Shannon, and Mr. Lee has no chance anymore to defend himself against such claims. To portray such a thing like a proven fact on Wikipedia, there should be more then one source. It's also very easy, forty years after the fact, for someone to boast of an affair with someone who is dead and can't deny the story.

The actor Christopher Jones claimed in his biography he had a romantic relationship with Sharon Tate during the time she was pregnant. But his Wikipedia page doesn't mention it. The reason should be obvious, because only Jones himself made these claims. In the "Talk" section of his Wiki-Article, there was a discussion about this subject too. Author Ed Sanders, who wrote books including The Family: The Story of Charles Manson's Dune Buggy Attack Battalion (1971) and Sharon Tate: A Life (2016), included Mr. Jones's claim in his book Sharon Tate: A Life, but he did put a "?" behind it, as it should be in such a case. But Mr. Polly included Mrs. Farrell's claim in his authored biography of Mr. Bruce Lee: A Life (2018) as if the claim are most likely true, even though, like Mr. Jones's, it was based on self-claims (by Mr. Jones and Mrs. Farell).--Alleingänger (talk) 13:46, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
