Photograph
editI found this photograph of an Elizabeth Spender who was an actress and playwright in the 1980s and married Barry Humphries, I think this is likely the same person as the Elizabeth Spender in this page. https://homersykes.photoshelter.com/image/I0000ZVMdoaObt2I Skycloud86 (talk) 17:06, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, she most certainly is the same person, and also the daughter of the English poet, novelist and essayist Stephen Spender. I came to this page to check if there was proper cross-referenced, and was stunned to see that nobody had made the connection previously! Nick Cooper (talk) 18:55, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Page Name
editThe page was originally called "Elizabeth Spender". It was renamed without discussion to Lizzie Spender. I renamed it back using the justification that the page is her professional name which is the name that justifies her notability. This is important as some want to delete for being non-notable. She is known as Lizzie to her friends but that is not a valid reason to change the page name. I have renamed it back. If you disagree please discuss here before making another rename.

- If it's any help, she seems to be known as Elizabeth when credited for her acting and screenwriting roles, see for example https://www2.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2ba4a8ccda but known as Lizzie for her more recent writing work, see for example https://trove.nla.gov.au/people/1195639 Piecesofuk (talk) 09:26, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
