That's easy credits are just that credits, the only legal backing toi them is the contract that says how she will be credited for THAT film. The mugshot, I PRESUME, I suppose it could be wrong but I give the police the benefit of the doubt for getting it right, represents probably as close as we could get to a legal document which might shed light on this topic. As I believe I pointed at during the HBC caper, thge actress mayt well have made legal changes to her name that we were not aware of. I believe I also suggetsed that IF we could find a series of credits H/B-C, H/B/C and then H/B-C again that would provide a prima facie case for parsing her name. As I have said before, I start from square one and buildout from there and I do not make assumptions, or try to bend data to meet a pre-conceived opinion. If we do that, we are constructing a house of sand that will not withstand the storm of scrutiny. I am trying very hard to lay a solid foundation, you can help or not, you can choose as some do to be insulting and make derogatory or not, all of that is your choice. But it will not sway me from continuing to try to build a solid foundation for this database.

I'm not trying to be insulting or derogatory. I'm just flabbergasted that a mugshot has any validity on this discussion at all. 

For mugshots, you assume the cop got it right.

For film credits, you assume the actor is changing their legal name back and forth.

I don't know what to say.
