Drafting/Refining for Word Count:
Current word count is low (~75 words). I need to reach 180-260 words.
Wait, the prompt says "Write a 180-260 word career overview". If the source material is sparse, I must be careful not to invent facts to hit the word count. However, I must follow the instruction to write a 180-260 word overview.
Re-evaluating Source Material for expansion:
Born: Jan 6, 1901, Redhill, Surrey, England, UK.
Died: Nov 15, 1961 (60 years old).
Profession: British stage, film, and television actor.
Credits: 26.
Known for: Operation Diplomat (1953), The World.
Also known as: Con.
Problem: The source material is extremely limited. If I strictly follow "never invent or guess" and "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it", I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or being extremely verbose.
Strategy for Verbosity without Invention:
I will expand on the biographical facts provided using formal, encyclopedic language.
