На сайте музея Молли Браун (mollybrown.org) написано: "This action defied the common maxim, touted by her own husband, which stated that a woman’s name should appear in the newspaper only three times: at her birth, upon her marriage and at her death." Речь идёт о человеке, который умер в 1922.
My Daddy says a lady's name should appear in the paper only three times-(HARNER, followed by LLOYD, enters from terrace.) when she's born, when she marries and when she dies.
Но на самом деле это пьеса 1938 года, так что: 1938.
И из Космополитана за 1947 год: "Personally, I prefer you just as a normal, healthy girl," Maclntyre said. "Remember what they say: A lady should be in the papers just three times; when she's born, when she marries, and when shedies." "Who said that?" "Clare Boothe Luce. In a play she wrote."
Пока самый древний вариант, и даже с некоторым подтверждающим контекстом :)
WINN, MARY DAY: Adanfs Rib. New York: Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1931. " the old rule that a lady's name should appear only twice in the paper first, at her marriage, and, second, at her death . . . and the accompanying feeling that if it appeared at any other time her nearest male relative was under a moral obligation to shoot the editor. . . ."
William Henry Hills, Robert Luce. The Writer, 1905 "... a lady's name should appear in print only in event of her marriage or her death ..."
