Removed unsourced/questionable material[edit]

I have removed unsourced or questionably sourced personal information from this article in accordance with our policy on biographic articles. The little personal information that remained was unbalanced, resulting in it having undue importance in relation to the subject, and has also been removed to prevent that imbalance. I have also removed a BLP violation on this page. Risker (talk) 00:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

20:29, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Montju (talk)== Kept out of Lolita showings == She was or would be kept out of the theater to see her own movie she starred in (Lolita) because she was underage. I don't have a RS for that, other than seeing it discussed on television. Perhaps someone can find it and add it to the article. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 08:01, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That claim was removed from the article long ago, because it was false. The U.S. had no age-based restriction on movie attendance in 1962. The British Film Certificate on Lolita was X, meaning "persons under 16 not admitted", but Lyon was 16 when the picture opened. — Walloon (talk) 14:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating. Thanks for the info. I hereby withdraw my request. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 03:04, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The US movie exhibition industry was subject to state and city censorship boards, and the industry as a whole was under the aegis of The Production Code, so yes, if the exhibitor decided that children would not be allowed, she would be kept out New York had a strict board though not as strict as Boston or Chicago. And she was 15 and 11 months old at the New York premiere.Montju (talk) 20:29, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recent life[edit]

some wild info about marriages[edit]

Although he is mentioned, I'll add about Gary "Cotton" Adamson, one of the husbands, that he spent years in the Colorado Penitentiary for murder and robbery. And in addition, what we mean here is that she married a man *in prison for murder*. I guess while we are at it, I'll mention how before that she had married an African-American man and that set off a whole new wave of controversy. I refer to Roland Harrison, 33, a black photographer and football coach, former fullback for the San Diego Chargers, 5 children from another marriage. She fled with him to Spain due to the uproar.

A hectic life, but we don't have to go there..DanLanglois (talk) 07:19, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Grade Z movie star"[edit]

Seems kind of harsh and pejorative for a sub-section title. Shouldn't the title be something more neutral like "Later Work" or "Last Films?" It reads as if the article is making a critical judgment that she was a grade Z actor, even if it is technically referring to her appearance in alleged "Z Movies." And was Alligator really a B Movie? It had Robert Forster in it, was written by John Sayles, did pretty well at the box office for an independent genre picture, received some good contemporary reviews, and has 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. It seems more like that was a late-career resurgence that didn't hold for whatever reason. The article mentions it as an afterthought and implies it was just more of the same for her later period.
