This page explains how The Famous File researches, writes, checks and updates biographies.
Our aim
Give readers correct, current and fair information about public figures, written in plain language, with sources they can check themselves.
Where our facts come from
- Official sources: the person’s verified social accounts, official websites, team or studio announcements and interviews.
- Established news outlets and trade publications.
- Public records where they are relevant and lawful to use.
Every biography has a “Sources and updates” section listing the references we used.
How news is checked
We monitor news about the people on this site with the help of software, including AI tools that read headlines and summarise the facts in them. The software never decides on its own what is true. Our rules are:
- Routine news such as a new film, show, song, award or brand deal is added only when at least two independent outlets report it, including at least one established outlet. Each item links to its source.
- Personal news such as marriage, children, relationships and net worth figures is added only after a person on our team reviews it.
- Sensitive news such as death, illness, legal cases or scandals is never added automatically. A person checks multiple reliable sources first.
- Rumors, gossip and unconfirmed reports are not published as facts.
What we do not publish
- Home addresses, phone numbers, private emails or other contact details of private life.
- Details about minors beyond what their parents have made public, such as a name.
- Speculation about anyone’s health, sexuality or private life.
- Content meant to harass, shame or attack anyone.
Estimates
Net worth, salary and similar money figures are estimates based on public reports and are marked as estimates. Ages are calculated from the date of birth. Zodiac and numerology details are for fun only.
Corrections
If you find an error, use the “Spotted a mistake?” box on the page or our Contact Us page. We aim to review correction requests within 72 hours. When we change a fact, the update history on that biography shows the date and what changed.
Verified profiles and independence
People or their teams can claim a verified profile. A verified badge means we confirmed that the profile’s official links are correct. It does not mean the person controls the page. Our editorial team keeps the final say over what is published, including on verified profiles, and paid services never buy positive coverage.
Advertising and affiliate links
Ads and affiliate links help pay for this site. They do not influence our editorial choices. See our Disclaimer for details.
