The fried egg hat picture is amazing. ---

> [@Heart\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > Le Sigh! Thanks a million, Una. What a great interview. I can feel Eve’s charismatic presence emanating from the page (screen?), and both of you are so funny, insightful, and well-spoken. I know I’ll never hold a candle to either of you, so I’ll content myself with simply admiring you. Thank you for the compliments! Eve is highly charismatic, and I was thrilled when she admired my bone structure and “goyishe nose.”🙂 ---

Um, someone needs to fill out Eve’s [Wikipedia entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eve_Golden) (hint, hint … I am a Wiki editor and author and could help with the technical BS if necessary … ). Seriously. She should have something much better than what’s there. ---

Seriously. She should have something much better than what’s there. If the hint is for myself, I’m not comfortable doing it, because I think living persons should be the ones to fill in their Wikipedia entry. ---

I don’t know **Eve** as well as I’d like to, but I’ve always gotten the very strong impression that she is in many ways a very private person. I was surprised by her agreeing to speak about her (what’s the right word?) transexedness. I think she’d be happier with her Wikipedia entry remaining a stub without details. I believe she’s said as much when asked about in some thread I ain’t gonna search for. ---

Superb interview. And Eve’s “Vamp: The Rise and Fall of Theda Bara,” is perhaps the best-researched, tightly supported Hollywood biography I’ve ever read. It’s a standout work - absolutely essential to anyone who has any interest in the silent film era. ---

> [@Una\_Persson](#): > > If the hint is for myself, I’m not comfortable doing it, because I think living persons should be the ones to fill in their Wikipedia entry. It’s against Wikipedia policy for people to fill out their own, and I think there’s some pretty solid reasoning behind that. > [@DocCathode](#): > > I don’t know **Eve** as well as I’d like to, but I’ve always gotten the very strong impression that she is in many ways a very private person.

I believe she’s said as much when asked about in some thread I ain’t gonna search for. Well yes, of course someone would have to ask her what’s OK with her or not - anything else would be irresponsible. I’d just really like to see more on there on female authors in general - it’s one of the weaker areas, and Eve’s work has historical importance to boot. ---

Great article (and Eve looks very lovely) but why isn’t Eve posting here anymore? ---

Over the years I’ve met a good bunch of Dopers. Being invited to attend a luncheon at the Algonquin with **Eve** and 4 or 5 other Dopers is without doubt a highlight of such moments. Direct, brilliant, acerbic, quick-witted. Warm. Intense. And a lot more. As is evidenced by the reviews of others, her body of work on early cinema is deeply respected in the cinema history community. Oddly, I’m 30 pages into [“United Artists: The Company Built By The Stars”](http://www.amazon.com/United-Artists-Company-Changed-Industry/dp/0299114406). My head’s been filled with the very filmmakers and silent stars that are her purvey. Deftly handled there, **Una**. What a treat !! 🙂 ---
