Joyce Lee,
If this is about someone with the same name mistakenly credited, then a name correction would need to be submitted, which means changing the Roman numeral to the right of the name.
If this is about someone with a different name, you may need to provide a still of the specific episode's closing credits to prove that your name is listed and not the other person.
Please read the page link below.

Thank you so kindly! This person has her picture posted. The names are the same except the spelling of the middle name. My daughter's middle name is Ann. The spelling of the other person's middle name is Anne..Please help me to correct this error. The person listed has been getting IMDB credit since 1996..
Many Thanks
Many Thanks

Before submitting an update, I need to confirm if your daughter already has an IMDb name page with a filmography of her credits.

At the time I found about IMDb, I didn't have a computer. I'm not sure if she has an IMBd name page or not, but what I do know for sure is that my daughter did the work and I have paperwork to back me up. I have canceled checks, scripts, and the work permit with a Warner Brothers stamp on it. This was my child's only credit. After ER she didn't want to act anymore. My daughter has not gotten IMBd credit in all of these years and I want to change that.
I am saddened that what appears to be a seasoned actress would falsely take credit for a job she didn't do.

Joyce,
Thanks for confirming that this was your child's only credit.
For what it's worth, writing as a long-time contributor and not as an IMDb employee, mistakes on the database do occur.
I don't believe the credit error was blatant. The data may have been submitted by another IMDb contributor, not the performer or her representative. Also, the contributor may not have paid enough attention and did the research to confirm that your daughter is not the same person as the one in the photograph of the name page.
I went ahead and submitted an update, which should move the credit to a new name page. Please note that there is another person with the exact same name listed in the IMDb. This just means that both name pages will have a Roman numeral to differentiate the filmography pages. Give at least 48-72 hours for processing.
After the new name page has been approved and posted, you could add a brief item in the Trivia section indicating that this was her one and only acting role, which will help to differentiate the name pages for readers and contributors.
I hope this helps. Thanks for providing the additional information.

Bless you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I appreciate your help so much!!!! Will I be able to add my daughter's picture, the one I sent you that shows her face?
Thank you so much for the clarity on what might have happened with the actress that's listed.
Kindly and big hugs all around,
Joyce

Hi, Joyce Lee. Adding your daughter's picture is a whole other matter. (Let us cross that bridge when we get to it.) You won't be able to add it as a profile photograph unless you log in with an IMDb user account that has an active IMDbPro subscription and claim your daughter's IMDb name page. Uploading a screen capture of her from the TV episode in which she appears is a straightforward process, but we would prefer that the quality be much better than the screenshots you've posted here on Get Satisfaction.

To Joyce Lee,
FYI: The new name page has been approved and published. Check the ER episode page to confirm.
As Jeorj Euler mentioned, adding a photo to a name page does require an active IMDbPro subscription. My previous suggestion of adding a statement or two in the name page's Trivia section or posting an extremely brief biography would be one way to include data to the page without necessarily posting a photo.
I hope this helps. Please write back if you need assistance in submitting this information.

Joyce Lee,
Thanks for the images. This will help to correct the credit.
However, clarifying my previous message, does your daughter already have an IMDb name page and does she have any credits other than for ER or is this her only credit?

Thank you, GMJ! As you can see, I am very confused here. I'm not familiar with IMDb name pages and such. But my daughter's name clearly appears in the credit roll of the show. Like I mentioned before, I have paperwork to show she did the work.

Edwin, I didn't get her to look like that, the credit goes to the very talented makeup artist at Warner Brothers Studio! I had the pleasure of watching it all come together and it was absolutely amazing!

I've never created am IMDB page for my daughter. I am not aware if my daughter has an IMDb page or not. This is her only credit. She was 4 1/2 years old at that time.

Hi Joyce Lee -
As mentioned above, the "ER" episode credit has now been moved to a new page listing under "Jennifer Ann Lee": https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9990407/. If your daughter doesn't have any further credits there shouldn't be any further action needed, thought as instructed above, if you want to add your daughter's photo to the site, an IMDbPro Subscription will be required.
I hope this helps, let us know if you have any further questions!
