ID error involving actress Andrea Riseborough and BBC tv presenter/documentary-maker Martha Kearney

IMDB's entry headed 'Martha Kearney' is thoroughly wrong. She, and images (including elsewhere than IMDB), and biography, are confused with 'Andrea Riseborough', who has her own entry.

Hi @SannyFerrien -

Are there any further outstanding issues that were missed?

Hi

One other point on Martha's page: I feel it is misleading to be described here only as an actress; she is primarily a prominent tv presenter, and, as far as I see, her credits relate to playing herself, production and an autobiographical piece re beekeeping.

I'm not aware of anything else outstanding.

Hi @SannyFerrien​ -

I can see that Martha has 4 "Actress" title credits and 37 "Self" title credits, we cannot customize the profession, this is automatic based on the credit categories. 

However, if Martha is an IMDbPro Premium member, she will be able to manage her primary profession listing, you can find more information about this on our Help Guide.

Cheers!

Also, it is possible to add a custom biography to the page, which would replace the automated bio that says "She is an actress ..."

Hi @SannyFerrien -

Can you link the name page below? Is all data on that page for Andrea Riseborough?

Thanks!

The clips are of Andrea Riseborough, as also at least some of the film links. The biographical info - dob and husband - is of Martha Kearney.

There is confusion elsewhere on the web. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GCg8MsUXgAAKLzp?format=jpg&name=small

This image, connecting the face with BBC Today programme, is of Andrea Riseborough, but in an Twitter post about Martha: https://twitter.com/elliegoulding/status/1740707450653721011

​I don't think any of the credits are Riseborough's.

The picture in the Twitter post is of Ellie Goulding.

Thanks @Peter_pbn​ - I was having some trouble with the tooling earlier, seems to have saved the correct tag now.  Changes should be live on the site shortly!
