Birth date[]

For the record:

  • According to his official declaration of intent form-- his birth date was listed as "Nov. 9,1940";
  • According to his official petition for naturalization form-- his birth date was listed as "Nov. 9,1940";
  • According to an index card related to his immigration admission (and least official looking of the three)-- his birth date was listed as "8/9/40";

All three were typed documents, and signed by his own hand. So in the case of the majority's rule and the importance of the documentation, then Nov. is clearly the "most correct" date to be used here. Even "other" public record documentation floating about states the birth month of November.

As for the alternative, Wikipedia states his birthday as Aug 9th, which is based entirely on his IMDB entry-- the same IMDB entry also states Sept 1 as his day of death, but even still, there are no citations to be found to even support itself as a source. –Gvsualan (talk) 14:51, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
