Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: April 27, 1898 (Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; Find a Grave; Internet Broadway Database; IMDb; Munzinger Personen; Artists of the World Online; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Discogs) or April 30, 1898 (Integrated Authority File).
