Irene Worth
editThanks for your edits of my article on Irene Worth. Here are a few comments:
1. The article nowhere claimed that Worth was of Jewish descent. Therefore, to mention that she wasn't of Jewish descent is irrelevant. Would you also find it necessary to mention that she was not of Irish or Japanese descent?
2. Several of the links that you have included are superfluous as they already appear earlier in the article, e.g. Alec Guinness, T.S. Eliot. It is not necessary to link a name every time it appears in the article.
3. She did not play the title character in Tiny Alice. She played Miss Alice. "Tiny" Alice is a miniature (invisible to the audience) inside a doll's house version of the mansion in which Miss Alice lives. It is part of the "enigmatic" nature of the play that we, as audience, do not know for certain whether there is a "tiny" Alice as well as a human-size Miss Alice.
4. English theatrical knights are not referred to as Sir in their professional appearances, so it is incorrect to refer to Sir Michael Redgrave, Sir Laurence Olivier etc. when listing film or play casts.
5. In my view, it is not necessary to state that she was survived by sister, nieces etc. This is an encyclopaedia article, not an obituary or a newspaper announcement of a death.
