 ::::::::::::OK, what if we took McCarthy's article and quoted from it, rather than paraphrased.  We could choose the most appropriate piece of text and quote it.  What if we also found a secondary quotation that said something similar.   In the article, it's discussed in the childhood section and it doesn't belong there.  It belongs later. Then, what if we said in the lead section something along the lines of ""journalists often wrote of Taylor's beauty, enhanced by distinctive violet eyes"" or even ""stunning violet eyes"".   If we can word it so that it's directly attributed, I don't think we have a problem, and exactly how we do it, I'm not sure.  I don't think Michael should be removed, he should be merged.  Her friendships with people like Montgomery Clift, Rock Hudson, Roddy McDowell, James Dean.... are all part of the ""celebrity"" part of her story. Maybe it's a subtheme, that Jackson would fit into.  Normally I would agree that it's trivia, but Taylor's reputation for trying to rescue lost puppies, that are kind of fragile or broken (which fits Jackson and Clift to a tee), is part of the public perception of her.  It can be done, it just needs to be done carefully.   "
