I've done a little more digging.  Variety is supposed to be THE industry publication and they always refer to her as 'Shuler Donner'.  That, combined with the hyphenated credits, would be enough to sway my opinion.

To make the reports on this complete: her account name is "ShuDonner".

I am finding a lot of references to Shuler-Donner but they appear to be unreliable for a wide variety of reasons.

So Lauren//Shuler Donner?

Yes? Sure? I can start fixing my entries now, referring to this thread?

It doesn't matter what Variety says - we see it in our database. She's credited as "Lauren Shuler-Donner" in films like 'Maverick', 'Lethal Weapon 3', 'Dave' and 'Three Fugitives'. She's credited without the dash far more often, though.

This was enough evidence for me. I don't see why we needed to go beyond this.

Yes. IMO.

No, Tim, I will vote No. I have yet to find evidence which is reliable and unlike James I don't make assumptions. James your assumptions are too easily defeated. At the moment I would leave it as 1/2/3 and use the CLT for the linking to LS-D.

I have gone through the first 10 google pages and drwan mixed results and unreliable results.

NO not at all. People can change names at will, Forget. I am looking for a sequence that will nail it down, like we did for HBC, LS-D, LSD, LS-D. That will provide  something we can hang our hat on. Say you find LS-D in a credit for 2002 and LSD in 2005 and an LS-D in 2008, now we have some solid evidence, because while people can change the way they deal with their name at will, I would consider it highly unlike that they would play ping-pong with their own name. So find the sequence.

I presume this is about "accuracy". Then don't build the house on a beach, false premises don't work. Assumptions such as the one provided by James only invite future trouble, I have suggested what appears to be the BEST method to deal with it, given the conflicting results I see through Google, and other information which is not reliable through Google.

That's about the best argument for a single name field if ever I heard one, but alas...

I won't disagree, Tim but, it is what it is. So lets's try and get it right. I'll accept whatever the parsing is as long as its not a house of cards, and right now that's all I see...a house of cards built on inconsistent data and assumptions.

I suppose an LSD, LS-D, LSD sequence would be OK as well, but i think the first sequence makes a stronger case.
