Talk:Catherine Hughes (actress)

Kay Hughes, actress
, this actress' birth name was Catherine Rhoads, not "Catherine Hughes", while her stage name was Kay Hughes, not, again, "Catherine Hughes". She was never known as "Catherine Hughes". &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 13:43, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

If that's the case, I wonder why you added it to the Katherine Hughes dab? I'm afraid I took your word for it. Boleyn (talk) 14:03, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * A glance at "Katherine Hughes: Revision history" shows that I never edited that particular dab page. The entry "Kay Hughes, actress" was added to the Katherine Hughes dab page by you, nearly five years ago (Revision as of 12:44, 24 November 2010). &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 14:52, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Oops, apologies. Boleyn (talk) 14:57, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Now it's my turn for apologies. I should have consulted IMDb and the American Film Institute Catalog before stating so categorically that "She was never known as "Catherine Hughes". In fact she did use the stage name "Catherine Hughes" in two minor 1937 films, Radio Patrol (1937 film) and Trouble at Midnight. Thus it would be quite proper to restore her to the Catherine Hughes dab page with an entry such as:


 * Catherine Hughes, alternative stage name for American actress Kay Hughes (1914–1998) &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:26, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

On second thought, "alternative stage name" implies that "Katherine" was used on an equal level with "Kay". Perhaps "occasional stage name" would be more appropriate. &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:50, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
