Talk:Agatha Christie

Removals

Pen name

Removed note claiming "Agatha Christie" was a pen name. Per Wikipedia, the author was born Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller, and married Archibald Christie in 1914. --75.168.153.104 19:23, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Are we sure DWU fiction doesn't claim it's a pen name, though? Wikipedia doesn't outrank actual narrative here.

Pointless info

Encountered article and found this:

With the exception of Elizabeth II, who has only appeared in cameos, the appearance of Agatha Christie as a character in The Unicorn and the Wasp marks the first time (but not the last time) a "historical figure" of a person alive during the original 1963-89 run of Doctor Who has appeared in the series. Her appearance as a character happened with the permission of her estate.

Which is plainly wrong. I can immediately name George Harrison and John Lennon who are in a similar situation. People die. It's not noteworthy. We've whole categories devoted to people in this situation. See Category:Actors who played themselves, just for a start. Also: Real world people who appeared in archive footage. Now, okay, her role is more prominent than a clip of The Beatles in The Chase, but when you have to qualify a statement in terms of amount of screentime your fact just isn't noteworthy.
