Confusion with Nellie Bly

[edit]

I am removing this statement (left by an unregistered editor) from the header of the article page and placing it here. For now, I am not going to make the changes because I'm working on something else, but if this hasn't been corrected by the time I check back, I'll probably do my best, although I know nothing about the subject.

Nellie Bly BAKER, the actress, has been confused here with Nellie BLY, the better-known journalist. Journalist Nellie Bly passed away in 1922, whereas actress Nellie Bly Baker continued to make films well into the 1930s. Everything on this page that refers to the journalist belongs on the Nellie Bly Wikipedia page and should be removed from this page. Only those statements regarding the film career of Nellie Bly Baker are relevant to this page. I suspect there would not be a Wiki page for minor actress Baker if not for confusion with famous journalist Bly.

I have removed the 2016 tag about "relies too much on references to primary sources." Most of the sourcing is the American Film Institute, which is no more a primary source than the Library of Congress. "The American Film Institute was founded by a 1965 presidential mandate announced in the Rose Garden of the White House by Lyndon B. Johnson—to establish a national arts organization to preserve the legacy of American film heritage, educate the next generation of filmmakers, and honor the artists and their work. Two years later, in 1967, AFI was established, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Motion Picture Association of America and the Ford Foundation." — Maile (talk) 19:23, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
