The guidance so far has been to move attributions to lines of their own. However, the Proofreading Guidelines tell us to not split text at dashes or emdashes, and that takes precedence over the guidance here. Leave the emash and the attribution as they appeared in the image.
Remember to use appropriate in-line tagging on the attribution: this one is in italics, but they're more often in small-caps.
The emdash is not part of the name and should not be in italics (or in small-caps, if that was the formatting). The attribution is a "complete sentence" (the preceding text ended with a period), so the period after the attribution goes inside the closing small-caps tag.
