Here are credits from the film The City of the Dead:


The question is how to enter the credit for Patricial Jessel.
I checked two profiles for this film already in the database and there are two different approaches on how to enter it:

1. One entry for both roles


2. One entry for each role


Both solutions don't depict exactly the real credits.
So which option should be used?

I would make it dependent on whether Selwyn and Newless are the same person or not. Is it a Bruce Wayne / Batman situation or a Parent Trap situation?

It's been a while since I saw the film but looking at wikipedia

In 1692, in the fictional Massachusetts town of Whitewood, a witch named Elizabeth Selwyn was burned at the stake (...) Newless says that she is actually the immortal Elizabeth Selwyn.

I would say they are the same person.

Yes. 

One entry if it's a single role but using two names, and two entries if it's two roles being played.

This doesn't sound like it is the same character to me.  One was killed, and a different one "claims" to be the first.  In my opinion, two different characters, so two different credits.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
