A fact from Roberta Arnold appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 May 2021 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that American actress Minerva Bussenius's stage name Roberta Arnold is a combination of her father's and uncle's names?
Can you explain "Morosco stock in Los Angeles" it reads as if the reader is expected to know what this means.... and I can only guess.

Its long enough and reffed enough and the hook is not overlong. Not the most interesting of hooks. No evidence of close paraphrasing and its neutral. There is an image and its free. but it not a very hooky image. If I had to write a hook then it might be "unknown US actress Roberta Arnold was offered a part in the play "The First Year" and stayed to start a second year". I cannot access the hooks ref but fine to AGF.

ALT1: ... that American actress Minerva Bussenius's stage name Roberta Arnold(pictured) is a combination of her father's and uncle's names?

I'm not sure what you mean by the image not being hooky. It looks similar to almost every biography hook that has been promoted to a lead spot.

ignore comment about image. ALT1 is OK too and the ref is accessible.
