Current word count: ~45 words.
Target: 90-130 words.
Constraint Check: I need to expand using only the provided facts without inventing anything. This is tricky because the source material is sparse.

Wait, the prompt asks for 90-130 words, but the source material is very limited. If I strictly follow "Use ONLY facts present above" and "Do not invent," I cannot reach 90 words without being extremely repetitive or adding fluff that isn't a "fact."

1. Eleanor Perry (American screenwriter and author).
2. Born October 13, 1914.
3. Died March 14, 1981 (66 years old).
4. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
