@Storye book: Good article, but I don't the think the hook is all that interesting. Can you make another hook? Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:26, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'd go for at which age (eightysome) she - an opera singer - received an award for best actress, but have no time to word it until Monday afternoon, busy weekend. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:51, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

- @Gerda Arendt: I have checked the Trebbia citation in the article again, and the link still does not work for me. Please could you either confirm that it works for you in your country - or if it does not work for you, please replace the citation with another? Thank you.

- I replaced it with the English. Please use the other as well, - I need to go. The pic of her older would be better for this hook. She played a woman who cannot die - perhaps that would add, but is not yet in the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thank you. I have added the extra citation to the article, as requested, and also added a picture of her in old age (above) . There are other pictures of her in old age in her Commons category, if you prefer a different one. Storye book (talk) 11:48, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
- thank you, - actually the image in red was also taken after the award, and is only a year older, so may be the better illustration after all, - sorry that I had no time to check earlier. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:27, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

- :@Gerda Arendt: @Onegreatjoke: Thank you. I have removed the second image to prevent confusion, and updated the source for ALT1 to match the sources now in the article. Storye book (talk) 16:30, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
new hook is fine i guess. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:29, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
