On 18 September 2005, someone at 69.160.5.155 added everything after the first sentence of the following paragraph (which reflects subsequent edits for spelling and grammar):
Malone was married and divorced three times and has two daughters from her first marriage. Well known in Hollywood to be a heavy drinker, she often came into conflict with film directors and movie moguls alike. Famed actor Richard Widmark walked off a set while filming a picture with her because she showed up to work drunk more times than his patience would allow. During the filming of Written on the Wind she supposedly shot her drunk scene while actually inebriated. Apparently the director didn't realize she was using real alcohol in the props that day. A drunken Dorothy Malone slurred through her lines and staggered around the set and everyone thought she was trying to stay in character, but in reality it was reported she was falling down drunk during most of that film's production.
I'm planning to delete the entire edit. Here's why:
1. The information strikes me as more appropriate to a tabloid than to an encyclopedia.
2. None of the information is documented. (The passages I've highlighted are particularly troublesome.)
3. The edit is disproportionately large.

Dorothy Malone born Mary Dorothy "Eloise" Maloney in Chicago, Cook, Illinois JANUARY 29, 1924 --> https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QVSH-BF7W (birth certificate) --> https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:HPFK-HW2 (U.S.Census 1930, born between April 1923 - April 1924) --> https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KWJL-CYG (U.S.Census 1940, born between April 1923 - April 1924)
Father: Robert Ignatius Maloney born in Kansas about 1896
Mother: Esther Emma Smith Maloney born in Maryland about 1902
Sister: Patsy Jane Maloney (November 13, 1928 - April 20, 1936) --> https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K3XW-RCT

Brother: William Maloney (about 1938 - ) --> https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KWJL-CYG
Why I was able to find that ? Because of a certificate of Immigration from Brazil in 1951 with a photo of her and a "supposed" birthdate of January 30, 1925, with the name of his father and mother on it... --> https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K8CM-SSM
What did you think of that, dear wikifriends !!! -- Danielvis08 ( talk) 05:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Yeah, that was really something!
If we could only confirm her full birth name or her parents name in a solid WP:RS, that would help clear up the discrepancy between Mary Dorothy Maloney and Dorothy Eloise Maloney. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 00:41, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
How embarrassing is it to us that we cannot agree on the age at death of a very famous woman born in the 20th century? Shall we settle what's the most reliable source through an RfC, or what else can we do? -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 00:06, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
There are no sources that say she was born on January 29 1924, her birthdate was on January 30, 1924. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.189.88 ( talk) 16:55, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
I find the following statement to be untrue and very POV.
"She had been one of the last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood."
In fact, looking at the list it refers to, she is nowhere near one of the "last". Sjkoblentz ( talk) 15:18, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
