Diane Ladd (1935-2025)
Have been trying repeatedly since Diane Ladd's death to correct Ladd's birth name. She was born Rose Diane Ladner as per every conceivable obituary, including just to mention a few, these two (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/movies/diane-ladd-dead.html and https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/11/03/diane-ladd-oscar-nominated-actress-and-mother-of-laura-dern-dies-at-89/).
However, the birth name still says "Rose Diane Ladnier", which has zero basis in reality. It may be that Ladd's having had relatives surnamed Lanier (she was reportedly related to Tennessee Williams, born Thomas Lanier Williams) is the reason.
Thanks
