• Article has been expanded 5x (from 381 characters (70 words) to 7149 characters (1183 words)). It is long enough, neutral, is reliably sourced with inline citations, and I do not see any copyvios. The hook is good and reliably sourced in the Career in California section. QPQ has been done. - JuneGloom07 Talk 01:45, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
  • @4meter4 & @JuneGloom07: would you be fine with removing Academy Award nominee? i think it would make the hook snappier. ltbdl (activate) 12:55, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
