Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

[edit] What this article needs, at a minimum

This is Wikipedia, a neutral encyclopedia, not a networking site or personal website where opinion and hearsay can be published. This article must be written according to Wikipedia policy. Still to do:

  1. Remove the many Wiki-inappropriate POV phrases not in quotes, such as "...powerful, unique, and versatile presence..."
  2. Remove statements sourced from the subject - this is a conflict of interest. Reliable, verifiable, third-party sources must be provided.
  3. Remove fawning from co-stars
  4. Add years for filmography entries
  5. Provide verifiable citations for filmography and awards
  6. Copyedit to correct grammar and style errors

Would also be good:

  1. Cleanup refs that are bare urls
  2. Birthdate with year for lead and infobox
  3. Properly licensed photo for infobox

Unfortunately, it has already been intimated that, because of the GFDL, there is no apparent problem with the article as it stands. See my talk page for more. I think it is a travesty, but there you go. Ref (chew)(do) 21:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Took a quick look, but I don't see where it is implied that because text is licensed it doesn't have to be held to Wikipedia policy standards. All I see is the specific defense against the accusation of copyright violation. --Melty girl (talk) 22:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
