[edit] Mary Gilbreth
I think that it should be noted - as i have in the article - that the Gilbreth's second eldest child Mary (born atfer Ann Gildreth and before Ernestine Gilbreth) died when young; the death was diclosed to the reading public in the Gilbreth's second book Belle's on Their Toes as a footnote. When the 1950 movie was made, the charecter of Mary Gilbreth was was moved back in the birth order, and her role reduced to appearing in group scenes with the other children in thecast. For the movie of Belle's on Their Toes the role was not cast, but references to the 12 Gilbreth children remained. Stude62 01:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
