Suggested correction: There was only eight months between the two actresses.

Wikipedia has Patsy Rowland's date of birth wrong. Patsy died in 2005 and in a 2005 article by The Guardian, the article list her age as 71. This would put her birth year 1934, not 1931, which is also confirmed at the end of the article.
