Help me!
Please help me with...creating a living person biography page for 1950's Hollywood Actress Dorothy Mae Johnson, Miss Oregon 1955 and 1956 Miss America first runner-up. Dorothy Johnson was female lead in film  Life Begins at 17.

I am new to wikipedia and need help while learning proper protocols for posting her accomplishments in Hollywood on television and motion pictures (years 1955-1962). Dorothy Johnson is listed on several wikipedia articles but her name is listed in black text and does not have a blue link.

Dorothy was born October 14, 1936 in Superior, Wisconsin, grew up in Garden Home, Oregon and is still alive and well. Dorothy Johnson is listed on the IMDB page for verification.

Thank you.

 * You may wish to ask for help at the teahouse, a forum for new users. You'll get more input there than you will from a single editor who responds to this request. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:15, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * My advice, on top of the above, would be to create a draft via the Article Wizard. Wikipedia content should be a summary of what reliable published sources have reported about Johnson. IMDb is not subject to meaningful editorial oversight and is not considered a reliable source for biographical content. You will instead want to look for old newspapers, magazines or possibly books that discuss Johnson and her career in some detail. You should summarize what such sources report (in your own words, to avoid copyright issues, and you should cite your sources so our readers can verify that the summary is accurate.
