Provocative photographs[edit]

Are we back in the 50s yet? A lot of actrices do shoots for magazines like Maxim (which is not like Playboy which again is not like the flourishing U.S. porn industry) to help their career and their current TV series and are probably encouraged so by the studios. This is how the systems works along with appearances at Letterman etc. I don't see any encyclopedic significance in that. Maybe you leave that to the gossip sites. And the people that get provoked by these photos probably want to see the Venus of Milo hidden away and all living women dressing like Amish or wearing a burqa. -- 84.159.77.191 (talk) 20:06, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you haven't given an alternative word to use to describe the photos. Do you have one? --Musdan77 (talk) 02:04, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I would call the pictures tasteful, but this again would be POV. Semi-nude would be more neutral. But my point is: Why mention it at all? There are similar photo shoots for any other female TV/film personality considered halfway good-looking by public standards (questionable as they may be). Just to mention a few: Mila Kunis, Rachel Bilson, Elisha Cuthbert, Jennifer Love Hewitt etc (this could be a very long list). There is always a lot of computer work involved (you may remember Kate Winslet complaining about her being slimmed down to visually lose 30 pounds in British GQ). In general, it's part of a promotion package and why should this be more mentionable than any photos for TV Guide? Beth Ditto posing nude on the cover of NME may be (or not) considered a provocation because she's a chubby girl and an outspoken lesbian. People like Madonna with her S/M nudes or Lady Gaga with her meat dress costume are going lengthy ways to create some very calculated faux-scandals, but still it's all just business and I think an encyclopedia shouldn't so willfully be part of a corporate public relations machine. -- 84.159.116.236 (talk) 18:01, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you feel strongly about it, go ahead and remove it. It's just a short sentence as its own paragraph, so it doesn't look good anyway. --Musdan77 (talk) 19:00, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Full name[edit]

Poppy Montgomery's full name completely perplexes me. What kind of human being has 6 words for a birth name?????????? 50.89.56.198 (talk) 23:44, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Year of Birth[edit]

Wasn't she born in 1975?

I've seen multiple sources that say 1975... and several that say 1972. I always thought it was 1972. I wonder if she's "regressed" as Hollywood stars often do. 184.13.201.34 (talk) 01:18, 25 July 2014 (UTC)Bob[reply]

Plus size woman...[edit]

In the film Lying to be Perfect, she seems to be plus size, with a big backside 129.180.139.48 (talk) 01:31, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
