Talk:Susannah Harker

Relationship with that McGann fellow
Paul McGann's wikipedia page says his relationship with Susannah Harker began in 2003. Susannah Harker's page says her relationship with McGann began in 2006. This must be corrected; since the only citation is for the 2003 date listed in McGann's article, I shall change it to that for the time being. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.146.58 (talk) 17:13, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Oscar?
Odd that the BBC should be wrong but there is no other evidence that Harker received an Academy Award nomination for House of Cards or any other work. In any case, since it had no theatrical release, the series would be ineligible for consideration. --Dhartung | Talk 07:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I think I found the problem. The BAFTA (not Oscar) nomination was in 1990, not 1991. --Antreid (talk) 23:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Great uncles?
According to The Internet Movie Data Base, Susannah and Caroline Harker are great-nieces of Gordon Harker. This Wikipedia article, however, says they are great-nieces of Gordon Adams. Of course, the Misses Harker could have two great-uncles named Gordon, but even if they did, brief biographies such as this tend to mention only noteworthy relatives, especially if in the same line of work. And there was a well-known actor named Gordon Harker (1885-1967). Quite a few web sites state that he is related to Susannah's family, and TVRage.com's entry on Susannah Harker includes persuasive detail:

''Susannah belongs to a long theatrical tradition. Her great-great-great-grandfather was an actor called William Pierpoint Harker, whose son Joseph Harker (1856-1927) was a scene painter in the London theatre. He was a friend of the writer Bram Stoker, who named the hero of Dracula (Jonathan Harker) after him. One of Joseph's sons was the veteran character actor Gordon Harker (1885-1967), who was Susannah's great-great-uncle.''

I cannot speak from personal knowledge, but taking all of this into consideration, I'd guess that ″Gordon Adams″ is an error for ″Gordon Harker.″ Philippachaucer (talk) 05:43, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Name
So is "Harker" used by her and her sister(s) as a tribute to their ancestors? Following through from the Joseph Harker article to here, it seems their mother (his great-granddaughter) was born "Adams", and since their father's surname is "Owens" it's not clear how the "Harker" is in play except as a stage name.
