Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: July 18, 1954 (Library of Congress Authorities) or June 18, 1954 (Integrated Authority File).

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.
