  • ... that American actress Roberta Arnold (pictured) thought that her birth name Minerva Bussenius "would be too great a handicap on stage"?

  • Its long enough and reffed enough and the hook is not overlong. Not the most interesting of hooks. No evidence of close paraphrasing and its neutral. There is an image and its free. but it not a very hooky image. If I had to write a hook then it might be "unknown US actress Roberta Arnold was offered a part in the play "The First Year" and stayed to start a second year". I cannot access the hooks ref but fine to AGF. Victuallers (talk) 15:15, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Victuallers What about
  • ALT1: ... that American actress Minerva Bussenius's stage name Roberta Arnold (pictured) is a combination of her father's and uncle's names? SL93 (talk) 15:19, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure what you mean by the image not being hooky. It looks similar to almost every biography hook that has been promoted to a lead spot. SL93 (talk) 15:20, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

ignore comment about image. ALT1 is OK too and the ref is accessible. Victuallers (talk) 15:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
