Interesting life, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and wonderful! - I'll need to return, after rehearsal, but a few things upfront:

* please no Miss and Mrs

* please no sandwiching of text between images, - can you move her 1923 to a section where it fit's better than before she is born? Just a note: that is the mother not her. Elisa.rolle (talk) 18:09, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

• Can you think about how much each image is needed? ... smaller size? - The ratio of image to text seems a bit off. Infobox? Only suggestions. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:56, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

• I have removed the Miss or Mrs. I have removed 1 image and repositioned the other. If I have to sacrifice another one, the mother is the candidate. Elisa.rolle (talk) 18:32, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

The best way to give the mother - thanks for clarifying! - would be more lead ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:56, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Made a slight edit to ALT1 to put "American socialite" before "Isabel Pell." --Usernameunique (talk) 06:30, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. For clarity: only the first part works as a hook, we need to end on the question mark:

ALT2: ... that American socialite Isabel Pell rescued a contingent of American soldiers in France during World War II? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:54, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
