Interestin life, on good sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and the perfect illustration if we stay with the original hook that I prefer. The ALT speaks about something rather exceptional in her life, it seems. Should we name the show in the image caption? ... or at least say that it's in a role? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:09, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

• Gerda, thanks for the review. No, I'd prefer to keep the caption short and sweet. Yoninah (talk) 18:08, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
