Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Ethel Barrymore — The claim that Ethel Barrymore's catchphrase 'That's all there is—there isn't any more!' was referenced in the 1933 Laurel and Hardy film *Sons of the Desert* is incorrect; it was actually referenced in the 1933 film *The Devil's Brother* (also known as *Fra D

Ethel Merman — Merman did not introduce 'Rose's Turn'; that song was written for and introduced by Angela Lansbury in the 1973 revival of Gypsy, not by Merman in the original 1959 production.

Ethel Merman — Merman did not win a special Tony Award for Hello, Dolly!; she won a special Tony Award in 1972 for her contribution to the theater, and also won the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for that revival.

Faye Dunaway — She married Terry O'Neill, but they were never legally married; they had a long-term relationship and a son, Liam, but did not marry.

Frances Farmer — The entry states Farmer was in the original Broadway cast of 'Golden Boy' in 1937, but she joined the production later in 1938 as a replacement.

Joan Collins — The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series – Drama was won in 1982 (for the 1981 season), not 1983 as stated in the INTRO.

Joan Fontaine — The claim 'no actress has ever won an Oscar for a Hitchcock-directed performance' is false because Joan Fontaine herself won for Suspicion, directed by Hitchcock.

Joan Fontaine — The entry states Fontaine appeared in approximately 38 feature films, but the actual number is closer to 45.

Jo Van Fleet — The entry states she won the Oscar 'the following year' (1954), but the film *East of Eden* was released in 1955 and the Oscar ceremony was in March 1955, so the award year is 1955, not 1954.

Jo Van Fleet — The entry says her father died in 1919 from a streptococcus infection that spread after being lanced; this specific claim is not widely documented in reliable sources and may be invented or unverifiable.
