Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: Done.
Overall: User:4meter4: Charming article. It's extensively sourced to primarily offline sources (AGF), which is understandable given the era of the subject. The few online sources check out, which lends credence to the rest. I think the main hook or ALT2 are the more interesting of the three proposals so I'll leave it to the nominator for which one they prefer. If you opt for the first hook, I would suggest changing "sex appeal" (which doesn't appear in the article itself) to "striking beauty" and also add an indicator of time like in the ALT hooks.

Thank you for the kind words Axem Titanium. I have altered the hook as you suggested.4meter4 (talk) 00:23, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Great, happy to approve this one. If you have a preference between HOOK1 and ALT2, please let the delegate know before it gets promoted. I think either of them are worthy now. Best, Axem Titanium (talk) 00:27, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have no preference. I normally can only think of one good hook when I nominate an article, but this time I had several good choices. I'll let the promoter decide which one they like best.4meter4 (talk) 00:33, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are no free images available of Annamary Dickey that I am aware of. Wikipedia can only upload material in the public domain.4meter4 (talk) 11:18, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
