Date of birth

Hey all! Is there a verifiable source for Mrs. Ladd's date of birth? The most common one I've seen is 29 Nov 1935 (which is displayed on IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and on the Golden Globes site), however, the Playbill link in the External links section lists it as being in 1932, the Alice Hyatt page listed there states it was in 1942, and doing a simple Google query for her lists it as simply '1939'. Tom gordon (talk) 05:21, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She is recorded as a 4-year old in the 1940 U.S. Census, so 1935 seems more likely than the other suggested dates. Muzilon (talk) 10:32, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We certainly can't use a source that says Nov. 29, 1942 for a claimed date of birth of "November 29, 1935", like the article just said. Kathleen's bike (talk) 14:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to this article (and I'm pretty sure her daughter knows when Ladd was born) she was born in 1935 (as she celebrated her 88th birthday in 2023). --HG (talk) 11:03, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
