The current, and the maiden name both credited?

Hi.

I came across with a documentary where both the current, and the maiden name are listed when the person is being interviewed. How to add the name to IMDb? In my example the name is roughly listed as: "Jane Doe (née. Smith)"

Some guides for obituaries list the names like: "Sally Marie (Smith) Porter, 88, passed away Sunday, April 24, 2021, at her home in Denver, Colorado. Sally was the fourth daughter of Frederick and Fredricka (Brown) Smith..."

So maybe it could be: Doe, Jane  ...  (as Jane (Smith) Doe)   ?

Thanks.

You can't put a parenthesis within an attribute. The most obvious option would probably be

(as Jane Doe née Smith)

Alternatively, one might regard it as additional information rather than part of the name, in which case it wouldn't need to be included in an attribute.
