Comment: 1. She uses just "Laura Robinson" for 90% of her work. But our Laura Robinson article is for a different (also Canadian!) person. She did use Laura McKinlay Robinson and McKinlay Robinson for a few roles, and I was reluctant to have Laura Robinson (actress, game designer, producer, writer) as a title for obvious reasons, so I'm using Laura McKinlay Robinson for the article; but is it OK if we leave out the middle name in the hook and use a pipe like this?
2. The image is waiting for OTRS approval. We should get it, she sent it in herself.
3. No shortage of possible quirky hooks, from being compared to Jessica Rabbit, to co-publishing a dice game about penis size, to co-authoring Chicken Soup for the Soul books, if you really don't like this one for whatever reason. But I do think Balderdash and acting are the main points that make her notable.
Interesting life, on plenty of good sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is stunning and will hopefully make license and being chosen. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:53, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The image license has been approved - looks like someone thought this picture of a building was better though? Nice at full resolution, but at 120px? --GRuban (talk) 16:15, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
