It seems to me that the title of this article should be Risë Stevens (with the umlaut) and that the redirect should be from Rise Stevens (without the unlaut). ForDorothy 13:25, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct - she did spell her name 'Risë'. Except isn't the umlaut a diaeresis? (An umlaut is used in German over an 'a', 'o' or 'u' where an 'e' has been left out; a diaeresis is used in French to signify that a vowel is to be pronounced separately (as in 'naïve', 'Noël'), and it is this use that is seen here (and that is often extended into English, in fact - as here or in the surname 'Brontë', for example).
