Hey FloridaArmy, do you think this theatre appearance is also her? Silver seren^C 20:21, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think so and I included another theater role. The name seemed pretty unique for her field and time period fits. I will try to follow up on some of the other peeps mentioned. Thanks so mich for your help User:Silver seren. FloridaArmy (talk) 20:36, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an NYT obit for the play's author. Seems a sad ending. Notable career? FloridaArmy (talk) 20:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quite possibly. I'm seeing other sources available for the author on a quick look. Silver seren^C 20:44, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article is new enough (moved to mainspace April 6). Hook is interesting and sourced, article has enough prose content (2,166 bytes), adequately sourced through mostly newspaper clippings, and free of copyvio/other issues. Both QPQs done. Good work! B3251 (talk) 20:45, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
