NASA article

I think NASA must have clobbered the original Anderson article, becuase that link isn't correct, though you can still read it in Google's cache. Shoehorn

I updated the external link to a new(er) article about Anderson. Which is probably temporary too; it would be better to incorporate more of the bio info from the NASA article into the Wiki Anderson article... Harris7 10:56, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Dutch Boy Paint?

Can anyone provide a source for the information recently added that Anderson is an heir to the Dutch Boy Paint fortune? I'm not necessarily doubting the information, but in 20 years as a fan I've never seen any reference to this. 23skidoo 15:05, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Followup: I have been unable to find any confirmation of this information from any of my sources. I have removed the following from the article until it can be verified. If someone can cite a source (as in adding the phrase "According to *name of source* ...." to the start of the paragraph), they're welcome to put this back.

"Although she is one of the heirs of the Dutch Boy Paint fortune. and therefore independently wealthy, Anderson has funded many of her productions through the use of government grants."

23skidoo 15:15, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

According to Dutch Boy, this is bogus. So unless the original editor can provide proof to contradict the company, I recommend the paragraph stay out. 23skidoo 20:05, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

2005 exhibition

Have edited to include her fall 2005 exhibition, relying heavily on her own website and notes. Would love to have an entry from someone who actually experienced the exhibition live. 31 Jul 2006 User:Sharonbs

Rose and the Stone?

Doubt I'll ever see it in print but a mid-80s UCLA exhibit of her work mentioned a self-published book called "The Rose and the Stone," supposedly about a hitchhiking trip she made to the North Pole. Would love to know more about it. (egomet_bonmot)

Collaborations

I would like to start a thorough update of Collaborations, it's outdated and missing probably half of extant facts. Also, inconsistent editing styles, if not a problem, are unsightly. I propose to reorganize it by year of publication. If you have other thoughts, let's discuss this now, I'd like to avoid reverts just because someone doesn't like the order. Thanks.
