Alcoholism???[edit]

This article is totally neglecting the actor's alcoholism, which derailed his career for more than a decade. Definitely should be included. http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20116547,00.html "By the late '60s he was battling another demon he shared with Capote: alcoholism. "I drank because I didn't like myself," says Morse, who says he was an "after theater" drinker and never worked drunk. "It helped me get outside myself and feel wonderful for two minutes. The trouble was I kept going, and I'd wake up not knowing where I was or how I would get home." His marriage suffered, and the usually genial Morse found himself insulting friends and suffering blackouts. "I really don't remember much of the '60s," he says. He still doesn't know what happened to his Tony Award, which was stolen—or lost—somewhere in the debris of the decade. In 1975 he sought help for his problem, and he has been sober ever since."johncheverly 15:39, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say that it "definitely should be included." WP:BLP policy is a bit hazy on this, but we would probably need to establish that Morse's alcoholism is notable in some way in terms of his career or life. WP:HARM and WP:NOTATABLOID likely apply. Even though Morse talked about it candidly, there are many notable people who were alcoholics at some point and we generally don't put it in their article unless it is clearly relevant information. Perhaps there is a source which establishes that it "derailed his career for more than a decade"? Then we might have something to work with. <> Alt lys er svunnet hen (talk) 04:36, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
