The lead needs to be expanded, as it's too brief in its current state.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 14:40, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Surely any part of an article should be as long as it needs to be. I find this one to be adequate IMHO.124.120.33.19 (talk) 11:27, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is my understanding that WP:laundry lists are to be avoided as a generality on Wikipedia. I am a fan of Ms McGovern, but her appearances are listed in the filmography, etc. Is it necessary to list each and every one in Career as well? "Films include:" would indicate to me that a shortened, representative list is coming next, rather than an exhaustive ad nauseum. Just sayin' rags (talk) 15:31, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Although Sean Penn is mentioned in the Career section, there's no mention that Ms McGovern was engaged to the man for two years, a notable interlude. Here are newspaper items that mention it (sorry about the inclusion of The Daily Mail, but in this case, it seems to be accurate) ---
