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.
