Talk:Susan Mosher

Proposed changes
Hello, these are the proposed changes to Susan Mosher's wiki page. I'm a first time editor so if I've incorrectly cited or formatted something, feel free to edit/fix it. I can provide additional citation articles if needed. I wasn't sure how do to the TV/Film and awards sections in a Table format so I left in paragraph format. Lastly, while her formal stage name is Susan Mosher, she is also known as "Susie Mosher" - I wasn't sure if there should be wiki redirect or just put in as a parenthetical at the top? Thank you in advance for your thoughts and help!
