Non-notable model/actress and unpublished author.

With respect to her modeling, she doesn't seem to have much of a career there, and I can't find anything about it. None of the references that might discuss modelling are WP:RS.

As an actress, "her film career consisted primarily of small supporting roles", failing WP:NACTOR. Her chief claim to fame as an actress is that, in her tiny part as the shuttle flight attendant in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, she had the first line of dialog; but that was her only scene, which is only interesting because it doesn't occur until nearly a half-hour into the movie. She's probably best known for being the mother of notable actress Olivia d'Abo and aunt first cousin by marriage of notable actress Maryam d'Abo, but being related to a notable person does not make one notable.

There is an unreferenced statement in the article that she had planned to publish an autobiography, but apparently that didn't happen, either, so there's no reason to think she might be notable as an author. TJRC (talk) 21:24, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Correction; after reading the article on her ex-husband Mike d'Abo, which has more detail, and checking against Maryam d'Abo, I see that Maryam is actually Maggie's ex-husband's cousin; not Maggie's niece as had been stated (now corrected) in the article. The WP:NOTINHERITED principle stands, however. TJRC (talk) 21:47, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete when your closest to a notable role was uncredited I think that is a pretty good sign you are not a notable actress.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:08, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
