Birthdate

Sources vary on her birthdate. Southern (listed in references), PBS, Google Answers, and others give her birth in 1915. IMDB seems to be the source of the previous date but seems incorrect

To do! more biographical and career information

Nrk, the Norwegian State Television writes about her because she recieved the the Norwegian Cultural Councils price for 2001. In this article, and on radio shows in norway covering this event, her birthdate was given to be 1912. All norwegian newspapers announced her 92 year celebration on the 9th of August 2004. I think Anne Brown or people knowing her, (she is very famous in the Oslo Opera Club) would have demented this if it was not correct.--PeterKristo 14:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cultural Prize

I've changed the date of the prize she recieved from the Norwegian Cultural Council from 2001 to 2000. Information obtained from the netpages of the Council.--PeterKristo 14:27, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An Oslo memory at the passing of Ann Brown

Some nearly 40 years ago I occasionally shared tramcars to Oslo downtown with Ann who was regularly accompanied by one or a few students of hers. It was most often a rather loud and merry party: very un-Norwegian. At other times she was travelling with only one student and it was still loud, but then often with serious complaints to the student about lack of seriousness or effort in the study of music. I believe she was a dedicated teacher.

I never got to know her, but we sometimes spoke lightly about music and she certainly knew what she was talking about. We shared anecdotal opinions about singers, orchestras and conductors and I was pleased to agree with her. I remember her as a sweet woman with a lot of life and definitely a person with solid strength of mind and integrity.

– I guess she was one the first persons I ever spoke with in Oslo that had a different culture background and different skin shade than all my friends. What I knew of Ann Brown I liked, and what I learned from her culture and her friendliness to the Norwegian natives I may have only recently discovered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Perneby (talk • contribs) 22:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grammatical correction

The last sentence in paragraph 3 reads "As a result, the role of Bess grew from a secondary character, like it was in DuBose Heyward's novel Porgy, to one of the opera's leading roles" "Like" should be changed to "as." Dfrankchat (talk) 14:34, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
