On a related note, it's always puzzled me how Christopher Evan Welch's wikipedia page lists his year of birth as 1982. I thought he was older than me, but that would make him four years younger.

Posted: 11/7/08 at 12:35pmWhen I was doing the "Passing Angels" threads, I discovered that an enormous number of folks 'in the business' had multiple birthdates. When I was able to track those birthdates I discovered that as they grew older, their 'age' became younger. Apparently this is a trick known only to professional performers and occasional politicians.
A click for life.

If Orfeh was born in 1974, she'd have had to have graduated high school at the age of ten. Who knew she was a genius?

Marie Dressler [b. 1868] didn't achieve stardom until she was in her 60s. With the advent of talkies, her star rose and for a time she was the top box office star in the early 1930s. She also won the Best Actress Oscar when she was 62 and was nominated again two years later. She died aged 65.
