The article was moved to mainspace on time and is new enough and long enough. Everything is adequately source and there are no uncited materials (I need an account to see the DOB reference so AGF). Both hooks are interesting, cited inline, and verified in their respective snippets, although I have a preference for ALT1 as I think it's more unusual or intriguing. However, it may need rewording since neither the article nor the source call her a "California actress" and they still consider her to be from Massachusetts. A full QPQ has been done and verified. My main concern at the moment is WP:DYKCOMPLETE: the article does not mention anything between her ending her acting career and her death, even though the cited obituary says that she became a columnist after her career. Her post-acting career stuff will need to be expanded before this nomination is approved. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Narutolovehinata5, I've expanded the article with her life after film work and I've also removed California from the alt hook above. Silver seren^C 17:18, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The Newspapers.com snippet about her post-acting life has only one page that's accessible to me, so I'd just like to confirm if the rest of the article confirms the other stuff like her writing columns. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:56, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reference should have the second page linked under the pages part of the reference, the D3 in this case, Narutolovehinata5. But here's a link to it directly for convenience. Silver seren^C 01:00, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that should work. Approving ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:26, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
