Why is it that after reading such a message, I only get more curious who this actress is ;)

I'm not sure of the details of this case, but it looks like it would be worth us keeping an eye on it since it could potentially have repercussions for us. Hopefully, the case will either be thrown out or it will turn out to depend on the existing relationship between the site and the actress (she signed up to something called "IMDbPro"). I can't really see how anything like this could be successfully brought against us, but you never know.
I thought the BLP policy clearly implies that the birth year should be referenced otherwise it must go. I do not think we should wait till somebody sues the WMF (unless the birth year is referenced to IMDB and as a result of the case it will be hidden).
Cheers Yaroslav
