What are some other big discrepancies you've uncovered between a celebrities published birth year and what you've discovered to be the actual year?

leenorman Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 What are some other big discrepancies you've uncovered between a celebrities published birth year and what you've discovered to be the actual year? Trying to remember, here, Neil; mostly, from THIS LOUNGE, which seems pretty accurate, with sites mentioned and posted, for instance, news articles: Some from Wikipedia, which I'm thinking is also 'risky', to say the least; but, thought IMDb to be the more accurate. I realize that, for publicity purposes, many BAD DATES were given out as factual, and continued for the life of the individual; but, what can you do? Even history books are wrong about some things; not to mention the teachers who teach it. I don't have much information on 'other' sites....unless, of course, you can direct me.... I'd certainly appreciate it; figure, if the thing 'sells'; people will certainly try to reach me with 'errors'; trying to make it as historic and factual as I can. There have been a couple I've changed from IMDb information; when, I was searching for 'further information' and went to Wikipedia; and/or the LOUNGE itself. What did you have in mind in the asking? Anything particular? I take ALL suggestions, and/or assistance, seriously, and thankfully and appreciatively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
