[Developers] blurb api error for a particular topic

[Gordon Mackenzie]

This is a known issue for some of the blurbs from wikipedia sourced  
article content. I believe it has been fixed as I cannot reproduce  
error in our next version of client, coming very soon to Freebase:

Against A.407 I got this response, as hoped for...

Lynne Overman (19 September 1887–19 February 1943) was a film actor in  
the 1930s and early-1940s who often played a sidekick. Overman was  
born in Maryville, Missouri.
