Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 25, 1930 (SNAC; RKDartists; Encyclopædia Britannica Online; Discogs; Internet Speculative Fiction Database; IMDb; Internet Broadway Database; Find a Grave; Integrated Authority File; Digitale Bibliotheek voor de Nederlandse Letteren) or September 25, 1932 (Wikiproject Iedereen Leest).
