Not far from being a B class, unless there's a great deal of notable info still unmentioned about Collett.

I'd like to find some sources to fill in the gaps, but there's very little info published about Collett. I doubt this article could be expanded by more than a paragraph or so. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 18:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Petersen?

The last name "Petersen" is only used in the introduction; it's used nowhere else, including the title, and there's no explanation for the different last name. Does anybody know what the deal is? MaxVeers (talk) 17:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Collett was her maiden name, I couldn't find any info on her spouse. She was not married at the time she worked as a model and actress. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 18:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Birth date

The Social Security Death Index lists a Lorraine Petersen who died in March 1983 and last resided in Fresno, but states she was born in December 1892, not 1897. Same person? If so, she would have been 22 in 1915, and not likely in high school. MisfitToys (talk) 20:47, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Since her NYT obit states she was indeed 90, I've adjusted the birthdate accordingly. MisfitToys (talk) 22:10, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for tracking down the ssdi info. Collett's dob was uncertain as several sources stated that she was 18 or 17 when discovered in 1915. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 22:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
