- It'd be nice if we could add an alt that includes information about her getting arrested under suspicion of being a spy.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Article is new enough, long enough and cited. No copyvio and qpq is done. Hook is cited and interesting but it'd be cool to incorporate some of her other stuff (like the arrest under suspicion of being a spy). After reading some of the newspaper articles about her, I almost wonder if she really was a spy after all and her socialite life was the perfect cover...
