Refining for word count and flow:
The current draft is too short. I need to expand it using only the provided facts without fluffing or inventing.
Wait, the prompt asks for 180-260 words. The source material is extremely sparse.
Let's look at the facts again:
Marc McDermott
Australian actor
Starred on Broadway
Over 180 American films
Career from 1909 until death

Born Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia
Died January 5, 1929
Age 47
Known credits: 67 (This contradicts the bio's "over 180", but I will mention the bio's claim).
Problem: It is impossible to write 180-260 words of original, neutral, encyclopedic prose using only these few facts without repeating myself or violating the "no inventing" rule.
Strategy: I will expand on the biographical details provided in a formal manner. I must be careful not to add "He was a talented..." or "He is remembered for...".
