Edward Alleyn — The entry states that a road passing Alleyn’s School was named after Margaret Townley in 1884, but the road is named Townley Road after the Townley family, not specifically after Margaret Townley.
Edward Alleyn — The entry claims that Alleyn baited a lion with mastiffs before James I at the Tower of London, but this anecdote is unsubstantiated and not considered established canon.
Edwin Booth — The entry claims Edwin Booth saved Robert Todd Lincoln on a train platform in late 1863 or early 1864, but the widely accepted timeframe is late 1864 or early 1865.
Edwin Booth — The entry states that in 1879, a traveling salesman named Mark Gray fired two shots at Booth during a performance of Richard II in Chicago, but the play was actually Richard III.
Eleonora Duse — The entry says she toured South America, Russia, and the United States in 1893, but her South American tour was in 1885–1886 and her Russian tour was in 1891–1892, so the phrasing is misleading.
Eleonora Duse — The entry states she married actor Tebaldo Checchi in 1881 and had a daughter, Enrichetta Angelica, but the correct name of her daughter is Enrichetta Checchi (sometimes called Enrichetta Angelica Duse), missing the surname.
