[edit] Criminal photo

Removed criminal photo of Robert Downey Jnr, by reason that there is already a section on his drug addiction and this is not the most significant aspect of what he is famous for.

[edit] Half-Jewish

Removed reference to him considering himself half Jewish. Anyone reading the source can tell he was saying "half" for a play on words; besides he's not religious so it shouldn't matter what he considers himself half of.

[edit] Friendships

This will quickly get out of hand. I don't think who he is friends with has any relevance, unless it is stated in a relevant context, such as someone who helped him find work during the dark days. But just general friendships, especially of the fleeting nature found in entertainment, has no relevance to Downey's encyclopedic entry. --DavidShankBone 22:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
