I have reason to belive that the subject title is spelled incorrectly. There is a factual inaccuracy in this article (that she won Miss USA 1957 but the winner of the 1958 pageant was one Eurlyne Howell (spelling verified on the official Miss USA website) and I assume the two are one and the same. Not exactly sure what to do about this! CarlyPalmer 02:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Seems to be both? variant spellings, or perhaps a name change to the more conventional form? imdb has her as arlene, with no reference to a name change & not much on her bio. tv.com has her as arlene too. i'm assuming (tentatively) that: a) it's the same person; & b) btwn the 2 sites, they likely have her name spelled as it appeared in the relevant film/tv credits. seems like this needs some more research to nail it down, but my best guess would be she started off as eurlyne, & then changed it; whether legally, or just for professional use, i have no idea.

also, someone is trying to delete her picture, anyone interested in saving it would be most welcome to join in/address the issues

According to several websites both spellings are correct. One site says that one is an alias. Another states that one is a misspelling, but supposedly is pronounced the same. An a.ka. remark could be added in the article. Sf46 (talk) 01:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
