I just audited Tales from the Crypt, the 1972 movie.
In the opening credits, there's a bunch of stars names without roles. In the end credits are the roles. I was comparing them and found one name in the opening credits not in the end ones.

Current profile has only the end credit names. What should I do with this name?
Uncredited doesn't sound right as she's in open credits. But all the other credits are in segments with dividers (anthology flick), so I don't know where to put her there. I'm thinking/leaning towards a custom "also starring" or "also featuring" divider, but sine it's not on the film I'm not sure that would fly with many users.

Also, there's tons of uncredited (or maybe some were on a mass list of extras/others in open credits, I'd have to go back and look) with good documentation on this site:
http://aveleyman.com/FilmCredit.aspx?FilmID=18902

I'm deciding if I should include them as well. Would that link I provided be enough proof for an uncredited (if the names aren't in the open credits)? I would skip those without a picture as I look at the pictures as proof of them being in the film.

Thanks in advance for any help, ideas or stone cold rules you can point me to or share.

From the rules:  If a film has actors listed in the opening credits, which are not listed in the end credits, add these to the list in DVD Profiler before those taken from the end credits.

Based on that, she should be the first person listed in the profile.  On a local level, assuming I could figure it out, I would add her as the fist person in the 'episode' she was in.
