Request for comment: age[edit]

Birth records prove she was born in 1940:

IMDb lists her year of birth as 1940:

I suggest reading the messages on your talk page, in particular this one, before wasting community time with Rfcs about garbage references. FDW777 (talk)

This RfC is premature, as the matter has not even been discussed normally yet. That said, you have been correctly advised that those are not reliable sources. Unless a reliable source gives the birth year, it should be omitted from the article. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 00:07, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Piedmont, New York[edit]

Multiple sources have mentioned Simon has died at her home in Piedmont, New York. However, I cannot find anything on Piedmont though, can somebody give more clarity? StuivertjeWisselen (talk) 18:29, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
