Fred and Adele Astaire connection

There are a few cited sources that claim that the Astaires attended high school for 2 years in Highland Park; for one, I'm not sure if that's a strong enough connection to mention them in the article. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:41, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

The original cited sources stating the Astaires attended "New Jersey's Highland Park public school" all omitted one crucial fact. The school was in the Highland Park neighborhood of Weehawken, a city in Hudson County, New Jersey. Because there is a borough in Middlesex County, New Jersey named Highland Park, people have interpreted the original sources as meaning the Astaires attended school in Highland Park, New Jersey. The time period in question was from 1910 to 1912. The 1910 U.S. Census shows the Astaire family living in Hudson County, New Jersey. The 2009 biography of Fred Astaire by Peter Levinson details that from 1910 to 1912, the family lived in the Highland Park section of Weehawken, New Jersey. Because the original cited sources contain wrong information that can't be corrected, please delete the two entries about the Astaires living in Highland Park, New Jersey. 69.114.243.82 (talk) 20:07, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

The Astaires are in Weehawken's list of Notable People. 69.114.243.82 (talk) 20:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I, too was going to say this is wrong Highland Park, and should be deleted. Those secondary sources appear to be conflations from the primary source, confusing Weehawken's Highland Park with the borough that I grew up in (namely the one the wiki article is about) 50 years ago. (Believe me, if there had been an Astaire connection, we would have known. Especially since one of the films I saw in Film Appreciation class was "Top Hat") That being said, I have not been able to verify there was an historical section of Weehawken called Highland Park, or I would have deleted this reference myself --gejyspa (talk) 12:28, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
