unlike James I don't make assumptions. James your assumptions are too easily defeated.

The fact that she has several hyphenated credits should be enough for our purposes.

But even if you can show your supposed preferred credit sequence, it won't prove a thing. Why? She could change her name back and forth for each film! Did she do that? Probably not. And it's just as unlikely that she would change her hyphenated surname to a middle-surname combo, as you have alleged is possible.

The hyphenated credits provide the guide for how to set up her name with our parsing structure. We shouldn't have to get a signed affidavit to establish a name.

Seeing as how she currently is almost always credited as LSD, your proof is in the past and is not palapable. Where is the PROOF she has not chosen to change the parsing. You provide NONE, I have offered not one but two ways to do this, I am waiting.

For our purposes, James or for yours. I am after accuracy not a recreation of IMDb garbage that is not documented at all. Your purposses are not good enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim, I want to parse it the way you seem to believe is correct but I demand better proof, not just your guessing based on film that is decades old, given that today she uses a different credit as noted by Unicus and his comment that he was guessing, it may well be a valid guess, but I don't accept guesses. So keep digging and find a sequence, I am righ ther with you, I am not fighting you, I am pushing you for better evidence.

Additionally, you might find it interesting to know that the production company she has with her husband is called "Donner/Shuler-Donner Productions" (seen in several film credits).

Very true -

We can prove a parsing of 1//23 by credits that list her with the hyphen. Can you prove the parsing of 1/2/3 using credits?

Quoting Dr Pavlov:

Forget IRRELEVANT, since Shuler-Donner Productions appears in the very same film as Lauren Shuler-Donner and that film is now over Ten years old, and the credit she uses NOW is Lauren Shuler Donner.

Sequence, Sequence, Sequence.

I'll even take a Shuler-Donner Productions coupled with an LSD credit.

Going by IMDb Donner/Shuler-Donner Productions haven't produced ANY films in the last 10 years. However, there are some that MAY have Donner/Shuler-Donner & credited as Lauren Shuler Donner. I don't have them to verify though.

They are -

Free Willy 3
Volcano
Assassins

The info is from IMDb so it would need to be confirmed by those who have the titles.

The film credits will be enough to convince most people and the screeners, I believe. Your standards, while they are fine for you, are nowhere in the rules (eg. credits in certain sequences, use of older credits vs. new credits, etc). They're better suited for your local db.

There's not much in the rules about parsing, but we have film credits.

As I've said for three years - "proof" on parsing doesn't exist. Never. It would be lovely if it did, but it doesn't. And the situation deteriotes even further by your own admission that "people can change names at will" - rendering any "documentation" you might find effectively meaningless. Actual film credits really are the most solid thing we're ever going to get.

so we are still looking.

No. We're done.

Based on that flimsy statement, James, I will vote NO each and every time. I am still reviewing Google entries and still coming up with inconsistencies there. I don't accept your assumptions. if you can't or won't and based on your work of late it's probably won't or don't want to dig for the answer then I simply won't buy it.

By all means, vote no. It really makes no difference.
