Year of birth

To whomever it may concern:

Please do not delete the section regarding the discrepancy over his year of birth. This is not a hoax or a joke. I have a good source which is referenced. I realize it is really hard to believe the guy is 91, but some people have shaved off as many or more years than he during their lifetimes or until they were caught. For example:

  • Jeane Dixon (b. 1904 but claimed 1918 as year of birth successfully her entire professional life)
  • Louis Nye (b. 1913 successfully claimed 1922 until death)
  • Signe Hasso (b. 1910, successfully claimed 1915 until death)
  • Vera-Ellen (b. 1921, successfully claimed 1926 until uncovered decades after death)
  • Kay Medford (b. 1914, successfully claimed 1920)
  • Jayne Meadows-Allen (b. 1920, successfully claimed for a long time to have been born in 1926)
  • Jean Arthur (b. 1900, successfully claimed to have been born in 1905)
  • Minnesota Fats - no one is really sure when he was born - he claimed 1913, but...
  • Zsa Zsa Gabor (b. 1917) - at one point claimed to have been born in 1928
  • Barbara Billingsley (b. 1915) - claimed 1922 until census data proved otherwise
  • John McMartin - no one knows when he was born
