 * Symbol question.svg Interesting life, on a great obituary and excellent supporting sources. I would prefer the ALT, as having to do more with opera. What do you think of a different wording:
 * ALT2: ... that Beverley Peck Johnson trained the voices of opera singers Renée Fleming, Anna Moffo and Renata Tebaldi, and actors Madeline Kahn and Kevin Kline?
 * I thought reading that another hook idea might be that a student had to choose between cigarettes and her ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:30, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok. I added the content and properly referenced it. The said student was actually Kevin Kline. lol ::ALT3: ... that voice teacher Beverley Peck Johnson told actor Kevin Kline that he had to choose between her and cigarettes if he wanted to be her pupil? 4meter4 (talk) 13:40, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg like that for a quirky ;) - struck only one, leaving the choice to the prep builder. Do me a favour: the lead should be a summary of facts in the body (with no refs unless for quotes), get Tebaldi etc to the body also, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Tebaldi etc are all already in the article. I removed the redundant cite from the lead. Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:03, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
