• Alt1:... that in 1935 Perc Westmore (photographed top) was handed a blank check by actress Kay Francis for him and his brothers to open a make-up studio on Sunset Boulevard? Miyagawa (talk) 17:22, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

• Both hooks verified after a tweak to the first as it's based on an anecdote from the subject's brother which may not be reliable. Otherwise checked and passed for all the usual issues including plagiarism. Gatoclass (talk) 13:00, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

BTW I also took the liberty of tweaking the second hook to add the blank check info as I think that is more remarkable than simply getting a check for $25,000. Gatoclass (talk) 13:11, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
