Question[edit]

How come Hedda Hooper had a house design by Ellis in Littlestone on the southern English coast, what was the connection. The house now is the Rommney Bay Hotel

Unreferenced tag[edit]

It's probably ironic, but this otherwise excellent article about a famous gossip columnist appears to have insufficient references. While it contains links to her IMDB and IBDB listings, those sites primarilly verify her various film and stage roles. However, the rest of the article that deals with many aspects of her personal life and career as a gossip columnist need other external published references.

So since a good deal of the information in the article doesn't currently have a citation to a published source verifying it, I flagged the article as unreferenced in hopes that an editor with access to good material about Hopper can add some footnotes and citations.

Uncited material in need of citations[edit]

I am moving the following material here until it can be properly supported with reliable, secondary citations, per WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:IRS, WP:PSTS, et al. [ This diff] shows where it was in the article. Nightscream (talk) 20:26, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Writing[edit]

After years of struggling as an actress, she had found her niche. She named the home she purchased in Beverly Hills "The House That Fear Built". She maintained a notorious if self-serving rivalry with the longer-established and better-liked Louella Parsons, who had formerly been friendly, sometimes even passing Hopper information. Hopper and Parsons became arch rivals competing fiercely, and often nastily, for the title "Queen of Hollywood", although those who knew both agreed that Hopper, a former actress, was far more vicious and unforgiving in her dealings with those who displeased her than rivals Parsons and Sheilah Graham were ever known to be. ^{[citation needed]}

Irony indeed[edit]

It's irony indeed that this article deteriorates into gossip. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.111.181 (talk) 19:53, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate[edit]

Date of birth is given as May 2nd 1885. Her own memoirs give no year, but the birthday is quoted as June 2nd. (From Under My Hat, Doubleday, 1952. Library of Congress Catalog Number: 52-10394. Internet Archive https://archive.org/stream/fromundermyhat00hopp/fromundermyhat00hopp_djvu.txt. Page 6. Sorry No ISBN No.) Valetude (talk) 12:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even by stinkipedia "standards", this reeks.[edit]

Although it's about a gossip columnist, facts still matter. This "article" is full of unsubstantiated hearsay. 172.58.27.14 (talk) 20:10, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chunks of text repeated twice - anyone able to improve edit?[edit]

Can anyone edit the large chunks of repeated text in this biography? I refer in particular to the long paragraphs about Ingrid Bergman and Charlie Chaplin. While informative, repeating the almost identical text must be a mistake, surely? I'm quite a new contributor to Wikipedia pages and, despite being a journalist my whole working life, who even did the occasional subbing work too, I'm out of my depth when it comes to anything more than basic editing on here. I'm not practiced with online computer stuff - showing my age - and there seem to be a huge number of rules and regulations to be followed so often I find the process over-whelmingly complicated. Unfortunately, I've unintentionally incurred the wrath of a couple of contributors to other Wiki bios when I've corrected grammar, spelling and factual errors (which I always double-check from Wiki and other sources before doing so). Some people get very nasty if you so much as remove an ill-placed comma! However, I do appreciate the time contributors spend in creating and improving Wikipedia including with this interesting bio but it undoubtedly needs tidying up and the substantial repetition removing. Any takers? Mag Wildwood (talk) 15:14, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
