Yep that is 404ing for me and a quick Google gives me another one, which also doesn't work:

So it seems like the system is having problems. It might be a temporary thing but, thanks to your flagging it up, staff can have a look at it.

Yes, something's wrong with those URLs and the problem is being fixed -- i'll send an update as soon as I know when the fix is live.

Thanks for reporting this.

Giancarlo, my name is Monique Kalmar and this issue has been constant now for more than 2 months. I get notification from another acting website...casting networks Australia. Are you able to help me? I'm so frustrated at the inability to get a straight response or contact for imdb. Monique

Can you provide the URL that you are referring to? I'm not aware of an ongoing problem with vanity URLs at this time

This should be fixed now. Please try again (and make sure you force a reload in your browser, as your browser may have cached content from a previous attempt in some cases).

Please let me know if you still experience a problem (if so, include the URL you are trying to access).

That link is now working but it is a new page and it may take a day or two for all the data and related pages to appear.

Updating (again). It doesn't work for me again. So it appears the "fix" isn't stable and isn't fully resolved.
