Actress age claim against IMDb rejected
An actress who sued Amazon.com after her date of birth was posted on its Internet Movie Database has had her claim rejected by a jury in Seattle.
Huong Hoang, who goes by the stage name Junie Hoang, alleged that offers dried up after the database revealed her age.
IMDb argued it had the right to publish accurate data and that Hoang, 41, could not prove she lost out because of it.

The site, which was launched in 1990 and purchased by Amazon in 1998, continues to post Ms Hoang's date of birth on her profile page.
