Should we add Gladys Knight as her aunt for the relatives part? I don’t know how to work Wikipedia sorry. 68.202.241.111 (talk) 15:57, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: Hi! Thanks for your suggestion. Since this page is protected, only certain editors can make changes. To add Gladys Knight as her aunt in the “Relatives” section, we’d need a reliable source confirming that relationship. If you find one, feel free to share it here and someone can help add it.

hi. Do people think it would pertinent to add Matrix Reloaded to the filmography section, explaining in the notes column that she had completed some scenes but died before completion of the film and that the character was recast with Nona Gaye?
