I was just 24 years old at the time. She was 73! A few things happened in which I was able to help her and she was able to help me. I was surprised to see her mentioned in Wikipedia, and to learn about her very colourful life. DavidInSydney (talk) 02:27, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Her birthdate is give as "5 April 1905" and later is told "Briggsy became Countess Gravina when she married the Count Gravina, by then a widower, in Buckingham on 16 May 1933, when she was 20.[4]"
If the birthdate is right, she was 28, not 20. There is no source for the birthdate. The latter info's source [4] is listed as ""FreeBMD Home Page". www.freebmd.org.uk." and that is what it is: "FreeBMD Home Page" and nothing about Dorothea Gravina. So could not check if they are correct (or if the claimed age 20 was there). 86.115.95.131 (talk) 10:34, 2 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
