I was just wondering is someone could verify her place of birth, as IMDB says she was born in Cardiff.
Thanks
Well, first, you made your edit with no explanation – not even an edit summary – and secondly, you gave no source. Those sorts of edits tend to be reverted.
When I first created the article, the IMDb entry gave her birthplace as Chichester (supported by other sources, such as this, this, [1], and this). IMDb can, unfortunately, be edited by users, so isn't always a wholly reliable source of information (note, though, that it gives Chichester as the birthplace for Rollo, backed up by this and this). She was an undergraduate at my College, though, so I'll see if the College Office has details (it will count as original research, but at least it will be something extra that I can mention on the Talk page). -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 15:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

A note to say that "television series: Close Relations (1998)" has a link that goes to the wrong thing (it goes to 1933 movie instead of a 1998 TV series). -- Cymen ( talk) 22:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
The article cites an intreview where she says that at age 11 she was flown to the US for a role in a Dreamworks film, and that for a while she was the flavour of the month at Disney. But then another director took over, and gave the role to Reese Witherspoon instead. I have big problems with this: If she was 11, this means it happened in 1990. However, Dreamworks started in 1994, and although Reese Witherspoon's first film was made in 1990-1991 ( The Man in the Moon), this was for MGM and with no known involvement from either Spielberg or Disney. She then did a few TV roles. However, in March 1994 the film A Far Off Place was released - and that one fits much better: produced by Steven Speilberg's other company, Amblin Entertainment for Disney, and directed by Mikael Salomon. So that's probably the film she's referring to, although it's a couple of years off (unless production or release was very delayed). The text in the source article is obviously wrong, so unless someone can find another, more correct source, I think that paragraph should be removed.

Should her latest drink driving case not be in the article esp as she has a rather extraordinary mitigation to the offence?
