Millard Brunton

This is a HOAX. The author Vendergood1 (talk · contribs), who has no other edits, has copied and modified the existing article about the real lyricist Lew Brown, born Louis Brownstein, and invented the name "Millard Brunton" said to have been born "Lew Brownstein" or (under the picture) "Louis Bruntonstein". The blurred but youthful-looking picture, uploaded by the same author, claims to show the subject in 1958, when he would have been aged 65. "External links", at the bottom, has the nerve to give Lew Brown's Internet Broadway Database entry as "Millard Brunton AKA Lew Brown", although that quotes Brown's real date of death, 1958, and "Brunton" is supposed to have lived till 1993. There is absolutely no evidence that the name "Millard Brunton" has anything to do with Lew Brown. The author redirected Lew Brown to this article: I have undone that redirect. Delete as hoax.
