5x expanded by JGHowes (talk). Self-nominated at 02:14, 31 October 2020 (UTC).

Interesting life on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I preferr the original as more unique. The image is licensed, and while it doesn't show much of her, it's a good illustration of the time's style, and uploaded by a missed user. I wonder if Harriet Lee wouldn't be the better name for the article, because there's much more about her than the series. (If you move, please don't move this template.) The hook would also be more natural if the link was to her, - otherwise please reword in a way that the series is the bold link. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Gerda, I've moved it to Harriet Lee (singer). Before 5x expansion to a full biography, it was a stub-like article about the 1931 TV show only. So, yes, the rename is certainly logical and Lead is re-worded accordingly. Ein herzliches Dankeschön,  JGHowes  talk 01:42, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, and was wondering if you'd like to add a little more color to the hook this way:
