Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: November 7, 1904 (Fichier des personnes décédées mirror; Česko-Slovenská filmová databáze; IMDb; cinematheque-universitaire.com; Cinémathèque Française) or November 7, 1903 (BnF authorities) or November 7, 1907 (Freebase; Prabook; Enciclopedia del Cinema; mymovies.it; cineclubdecaen.com).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
