Problem: The target is 180-260 words. The provided sources are extremely sparse. I cannot invent facts to reach the word count. I must state only what is there. However, if I can't reach the word count without violating the "no inventing" rule, I have a conflict.
Re-evaluating the sources:
Source 1: Birth date, death date, age at death, birthplace, known as, known for (acting), credits (62).
Source 2: Films (Went the Day Well?, Perfect Strangers, Mladý a nevinný).
