While most sites I've checked report her year of birth as 1904, IMDB gives it as 1896, specifically mentioning in the mini bio that while she claimed to have been born the same year as Cary Grant, she was actually over seven years older, so I'm going to change this article accordingly.

Clarityfiend: Do you have any source besides IMDB? I've read the minibio on IMDB and I'm not sure if it's authoritative. Another source would cinch it for me. --SeanO 00:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No. But it is IMDB's business and the way they phrase it indicates they're sure about it. Plus it is plausible for an actress to conveniently "lose" a few years. Clarityfiend 04:59, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've emailed the author of the minibio and asked him for his source. I agree with you she probably shaved it, but I want to hunt it down. Once confirmed, the discrepency is probably worth noting in the article (cf: birthdates for Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong) --SeanO 23:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm wrong, could you also fix the trivia item in North by Northwest about the Grant-Landis age difference? Thanks. Clarityfiend 06:07, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
