American Film Institute edit
"The American Film Institute was founded by a 1965 presidential mandate announced in the Rose Garden of the White House by Lyndon B. Johnson—to establish a national arts organization to preserve the legacy of American film heritage, educate the next generation of filmmakers, and honor the artists and their work. Two years later, in 1967, AFI was established, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Motion Picture Association of America and the Ford Foundation."

... that top box office silent film actress Clara Bow (pictured), in spite of receiving 30,000 monthly fan letters, was convinced talking pictures would ruin her career?
- Louise Brooks finally met her idol during this traumatic period ... Brooks realized how "stunned and helpless" Clara felt in the face of widespread gossip which mocked her voice and accent and considered her failure in talkies a foregone conclusion. Listening to Clara's musical contralto, Brooks could not believe what she was hearing. "She was Hollywood's top box office star! She got 30,000 fan letters a month! But she already knew that she was finished." p.158 "fan mail was monitored carefully by Paramount, which established a Fan Mail Department responsible for tallying, then answering every letter to every star."p. 135

- Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 10:51, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
- Maile, the bolded link does not lead to an article about fan letters. I think you should pipe it this way:
- ALT0a: ... that despite receiving 30,000 monthly fan letters, top box office silent film star Clara Bow (pictured) was convinced talking pictures would ruin her career?
- Also, the sepia-toned image is not the best. Should I look for something else for you? Yoninah (talk) 23:36, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah Agree to ALT0a. And, yes, please find an appropriate image. Whatever you think. — Maile (talk) 23:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah - Per my talk page. I put this in the article. So, let's go with this, per your suggestion. — Maile (talk) 00:13, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- OK. I put the cropped image above and edited the caption. Yoninah (talk) 00:18, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Maile Oh, you mean the Photoplay image in this filmography article? She doesn't look at all young. If that's what she looked like in 1933, I'm wondering if this new image has the right date. Yoninah (talk) 00:23, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
