@Pencho15​ ,

Thanks.

I added Michèle Morgan's birth date. I still have to double check the order of the list and which people to include in the poll.

I am sure it is an unintentional blunder, but you ask "which of these is your favorite celebrities", and you added Richard Ramirez.

Richard Ramirez's bio: Ricardo "Richard" Leyva Muñoz Ramirez (/rəˈmɪərɛz/; February 29, 1960 – June 7, 2013), dubbed the Night Stalker, the Walk-In Killer and the Valley Intruder, was an American serial killer and sex offender whose crime spree took place in California from June 1984 until his capture in August 1985. He was convicted and sentenced to death in 1989, and died while awaiting execution in 2013.

I think we should remove him from the list.

I've noticed a lot of weird stuff going on with the polls just in the past week or two, like the person who is making them is drunk or high, or they're using some crappy AI software.

I agree with Maxence. Please replace Richard Ramirez with someone else.

There is more than one poll author, and on every poll, the author's IMDb member handle is displayed (as a hyperlink to his/her member profile) if the author's account hasn't been closed down. Some authors to follow a sort of set of themes, e.g. GabrielFox often makes IMDb poll-suitable lists in which every item (poll option) is a movie poster (or likewise for television series that have 2:3 box art). I don't believe any of the poll makers thus far relies heavily upon any machine learning to assist them in creating polls, but I don't know. Some people use large language model software in every little thing that they write for public consumption or private correspondence. In theory, software like that would produce much better results than simple scripts or macros created by software operators who have no knowledge of how to implement machine learning.

@Maxence_G​ and @Jessica ,

Eek! I've replaced Richard Ramirez with Anika Poitier in the list. I will ask for a re-push. ASAP.

Imagine being born in 1896 or 2096 and celebrating your first actual birthday eight years after your birth.

Why the hell is there a mentally disturbed, intellectually disabled vicious violent serial killer on this list? 

Really inappropriate. I have my doubts about the people making these polls.

I agree. I made last minute changes to the poll prior to the poll going live and missed this horrendous blunder.

I've replaced Richard Ramirez with Anika Poitier in the list. I've asked for a re-push for this poll.
