IMDB won't adjust my credits

I'm really frustrated with IMDB. I acted in 3 small things over 10 years ago. I am not an actress, I am art director and have 20 credits in this position. When you search my name it says actress in the results. It's very confusing and misleading when potential productions search my info and it says I'm an actress. I have tried to change it, delete it (which I know they won't). If it needs to stay on, can I please just have all the acting credits not show as the first thing in my about section and in my name search? I also don't want my full name showing up either. It's really an invasion of my privacy to have my middle name come up as well. If people can omit their age I should be able to opt out having my full name on here.

Please reread this from the 2nd part of the paragraph then:
If it needs to stay on, can I please just have all the acting credits not show as the first thing in my about section and in my name search? I also don't want my full name showing up either. It's really an invasion of my privacy to have my middle name come up as well. If people can omit their age I should be able to opt out having my full name on here.

The full name was put on by someone who originally filled in my info. I want it removed. It's not my legal middle name.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled I need to change my name and how my job title appears.

These canned replies on IMDB is driving me nuts. It won't answer questions and give the same response about not changing information. Again here are my problems / questions:


- I am art director and have 20 credits in
this position, I acted in 3 things over 10 years ago. When you search my name it says actress in the results.
It's very confusing and misleading when potential productions search my
info and it says I'm an actress. I have tried to change it, delete it
(which I know they won't). If it needs to stay on, can I please just
have all the acting credits not show as the first thing in my about
section and in my name search?
- I also don't want my full name showing up
either. It's really an invasion of my privacy to have my middle name
come up as well. If people can omit their age I should be able to opt
out having my full name on here.
