Talk:Susan Saint James

Church?

Removed ambiguous sentence from the article (below).... if anyone can elaborate on the quote, feel free to re-insert it:

Saint James has stated that she has returned to the Church following her estrangement, in part, because "It's the only way I know how to pray".

Anyone know which church it is? Estrangement from what? Church? Perhaps the statement could read she returned to "religion"? -- eo 16:37, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

In the United States as well as many other countries, "the Church" is shorthand for Catholicism; it was also mentioned that Saint James was a Catholic in the second paragraph. Mike H (Talking is hot) 16:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough... I missed the Catholic reference earlier in the article. Thanks! -- eo 19:07, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Name?

When did she change her name? Is it just a stage name? The article doesn't mention anything about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.112.235 (talk) 07:16, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Exfuckingactly. That's what I came here to learn about, and there's not a friggin' clue about it. 98.71.244.147 (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

It is the biggest omission in this article. (I remember watching her in her prime, decades ago, & never suspected it wasn't her birth name.) Any hope someone will add it soon? Or should a jack-of-all-edits like yours truly need to do it? -- llywrch (talk) 21:15, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes by all means, if you can. The likely answer seems obvious to me: intent on a career as a singer, model, or actress, she probably figured that "Susan Saint James" was more differentiating, charismatic, and memorable than "Susan Miller". It says here that she was sent to college, lasted one week, then "changed her name and went to New York to model" although it doesn't say why, exactly. It's possible her intent was to hide her activities from her parents. Anyway that's only a blog, although it references as 1973 TV Guide piece, if you can find it. It may not answer the "why" question, but at least it can say when she changed her name. Herostratus (talk) 01:53, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

End Credits

The final credits end with "And The State Contest Winners" listing eight girls from eight states where portions of the film were shot (New Mexico, Oklahoma, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, Missouri, Indiana and Pennsylvania.) Presumably each girl won a brief screen appearance that was shot when the filmmakers came to her state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.151.255.252 (talk) 19:19, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Who knows? See the talk section of Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows It's not germane to Susan Saint James anyways. --Wlmg (talk) 18:25, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Ugly Picture

For such a beautiful woman with decades of movies and television under her belt can't Wikipedia do better for her than an old grainy black and white photo representing one aspect of her life, her involvement with the Special Olympics? --Wlmg (talk) 18:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

The first pic is of Maria Shriver NOT Susan St. James

It needs to be changed 206.45.27.127 (talk) 02:55, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
