From this article, I don't feel I know anything about her, as a person, or as an actress. In fact, this article seems almost to "dance around the facts". For example, it's important that Darla's mother started her training...and that's totally appropriate for the article. But I have no "picture" of her. Was her mother "driving" her all the way through her career? Was Darla a professional actress all her life? Or did she really have to earn her living some way else? Why was she singing on record? Was that aspect of her life successful? |

Was her first appearance in Our Gang or in The Bohemian Girl? |

It's irrelevant that someone quoted (that being Thomas) died a year after they were quoted. |

The "In Popular Culture" section is another name for "Trivia". As with trivia, the idea is to work the information into the body of the article -- or to omit it entirely. |

Anticipating feedback
"Dying under mysterious circumstances". That's a phrase for a detective story. It might mean "killed, but nobody could prove it", or it might mean "committed suicide", or it might mean "had a run-in with organized crime" or...who knows?
The Internet Movie Database quote does not help. It doesn't explain anything about the situation.
I don't often use this word, but my overall impression of this article is that it is flippant. Not respectful. Too much hype, and not enough about the person. Wikipedia isn't the place for fond eulogies. And it's not a place to gloss a person's real accomplishments and problems. It's an encyclopdia.
Without raising feathers, it seems that a number of the really central aspects of her life are missed in a sort of mix of quick-and-ready facts found on the Internet.
From this article, I don't feel I know anything about her, as a person, or as an actress. In fact, this article seems almost to "dance around the facts". For example, it's important that Darla's mother started her training...and that's totally appropriate for the article. But I have no "picture" of her. Was her mother "driving" her all the way through her career? Was Darla a professional actress all her life? Or did she really have to earn her living some way else? Why was she singing on record? Was that aspect of her life successful?
The "In Popular Culture" section is another name for "Trivia". As with trivia, the idea is to work the information into the body of the article -- or to omit it entirely.
There are over a dozen "peacock" words that are contrary to Wiki style guidelines WP:PEACOCK. Start by removing them, and the article will be on its way to giving her a fair treatment.
