Extended interview: Tilda Swinton (CBS Sunday Morning)

Age of graduation

I could be incredibly dense right now, but it states that she graduated Cambridge at age 13?

This is written about in many places, but nowhere explicitly states she is 18 - just that she was born in 1960 and graduated in 1983.

Very confused! Sean (talk) 17:35, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is the problem. Looks like she was 22 or 23? I think she went on Project Trust before university so sounds about right? Billlion (talk) 19:16, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I just looked back on the page version from when I wrote that comment.

I have no idea what I was on about! Sean (talk) 23:45, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

LGBT category

How come she's married to a woman, but there is no LGBT category? I'm a little confused by that. Paranoid Android1208 (talk) 20:17, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sandro is a man. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 02:05, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish nationality

Has Scottish ancestry; lived in Scotland for over 20 years; says she identifies as Scottish and never felt British or English.

Seems reasonable to note her as Scottish.
