To list Sally Ann Howes as an American citizen, even though she has an American citizenship, is a bit misleading, as it makes it sound as if she were born in the United States, when in fact she was born in England and lived there for pretty much the first thirty years of her life and off and on ever since. Not only that, but I'm quite certain the she still considers herself very English, as do all who know her and her career. As most of her films were done in England as a youth, and as much of her fame in theatre on London's West End was also done as an English Citizen, it would be far more appropriate to suggest that she probably holds a dual citizenship, as I'm certain for the naturalization process was more about the ability to work in the United States more than anything else. Perhaps the wording should reflect both, as it does with Nicole Kidman who was born in the United States (Hawaii) but grew up in Australia. I don't think anyone really thinks of her as American but rather as Australian, as that is what she is best known as. So, it is true with Sally that she is known as an English actress as that is where she was born, lived much of her life, and also did the majority of her professional work. S

I screwed up big-time. I didn't bother to check if the film Rosemary's Baby had already been created before I plowed ahead with blinkers on and created it again. Worse still my version was far inferior to the original, although I added a few bits that were more germane to the novel on which the film was based, rather than the film itself. That should be OK, especially since the existing page is known as Rosemary's Baby, not Rosemary's Baby (film version).

Anyway I humbly apologize for this inauspicious debut and I hope never to have to apologize thusly again.
