Hi Rob -

I can see that your birthdate correction for Ruby Holbrook wasn't accepted because our editors were unable to verify the changed birth year.  Do you have an online source to verify that she was born in 1923?

The same links I provided which indicate no obituary was published and that she died in December 2018 at age 95. One of her brothers was interviewed.

Also, IBDB just corrected Holbrook's year of birth to 1923 (see https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/ruby-holbrook-75912) after I notified them and sent them the following links:
