Usually, in archival work, if sources conflict, I report what is there or choose the most specific. However, the prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above". I will use the information provided.

Problem: The source material is extremely sparse. It is impossible to write 180-260 words of verifiable facts without repeating myself or inventing details, which is strictly forbidden by the instructions ("You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess").
Re-evaluating the prompt: "Write a 180-260 word career overview... Use ONLY facts present above."
If I only use the facts provided, I cannot reach 180 words without being extremely repetitive.
Let's see if I can expand on the facts given without inventing anything.

1. Cass Daley is an American actress, comedian, and singer.
