The children?

Why did nobody put "Joady Ben Guthrie" on there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.165.77.37 (talk) 12:45, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Was she born Marjorie, or Hannah? Because it says in English that her birth name was Marjorie, but the Yiddish says her name was Hannah. 23.233.120.17 (talk) 06:07, 22 November 2017 (UTC) when and how did she change her surname from Greenblatt to Mazia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.12.37.160 (talk) 14:00, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not uncommon for Jews to have a religious given name that differs from their legal name. Plus she was a dancer, and in show biz, stage names are common - Marjorie would have been a better billing than Chana/Hannah. A sto the last name, this may have also bene a stage name. Her sister Gertrude married biologist David Mazia. When looking for a stage name, she may have disliked Greenblatt, and thought her sister's married name sounded good. However, on a slightly different note, I don't believe the "fifth husband" statement at the end of the article. We have documentation for Guthrie and Stein. There is also a rumored marriage that was still in effect when she met Guthrie, and that she may have gone back to that first husband when she was pregnant with her first child with Guthrie. But I haven't seen any substantiation of that, let alone another two. Dovid (talk) 18:17, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When did she meet Arlo?

The article says that she met Arlo on 1940, but the next paragraph says that she met him in 1942. Some clarification is in order. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.185.214.229 (talk) 07:19, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
