Some sources say she was born in 1928 some in 1930 or 1931, who is correct? @whoismakoto


Born 29 December 1928  in Los Angeles County, California as Janice Preston. 

Now lives in Encino, California as Janice Houben (her married surname).

"June" is a stage name.

I want to do a search for two actresses with the same name Patricia Knox (born 1926) and  Eleanor Todd (born 1931). Todd birth name is Patricia Knox so I'm a little confused, are they two different actresses or is it the same person. Actuallay Knox it looks different from Todd. I think it's a coincidence, what do you think @Ulitzer95?

 

I found for the first one (born 1926) that she passed away in 2000. IMDb says she was born in 1926, but according to this she was born on April 23, 1916 in California as Patricia Luella Fargason and passed away on August 7, 2000 in Las Vegas, Nevada as Patricia L. Kiider. This should be updated on her IMDb page because it turns out still alive aged 95.

 

About the second (Todd) I found this. It is said living in Florida, but I don't know.

Details about Michele Gallagher (George from the Famous Five tv show) seem to be rather vague. According to some, she took her own life in 2000 or 2001 after a motorbike crash left her paralysed several years before. Yet, others maintain she is still alive and works as a screenwriter in Germany, hidden away from the public eye.

What research?

You've missed Priscilla Montgomery, Michael Chapin and Lynne O'Leary Jameson.

 

So there should be 8 left.

 

Montgomery played a student at the ball, Chapin was one of the lads that were playing when Harry Bailey broke through the ice and Lynne O'Leary Jameson was baby Janie.

 

Of those Patton, Coombs and Grimes are the most significant. It'll be a very sad day when there's no more Zuzu.

@Octopus of Odstock, had a bit of spare time tonight so did the names on your Jimmy Stewart list who are over 85. Only found one death – Jacques Roux, in 2006. The five four in gold I can't be sure if they're alive or not – though I'm sure msc will know about Evans. All the rest are still with us!

Looking into this online has introduced me to something I never knew existed: the German Enid Blyton stan community. Very angry people.

Asa Teeter – Son of Christine McGuire (1926–2019) of the McGuire Sisters. Lives in Apple Valley, California as Asa Squire Ashcraft as of 2021.
 

 

If IMDB is to be believed, Asa Teeter predeacesed his mother which after a little research, is confirmed here - https://extratv.com/2019/01/05/christine-mcguire-of-the-mcguire-sisters-dead-at-92/ but as Asa Ashcraft.

1947. She was a newborn baby when the film was made. So she's 74. Was still alive in 2016 and not heard that she's died since. Would 'only' be 75 this year - https://romesentinel.com/stories/seneca-falls-hosts-its-a-wonderful-life-festival,24975

Does anyone know what could have happened to actress Katherine N. Anderson. In Google and IMDb it turns out that she is 99 years old and still alive. Is this true or not? She played Margot Finchley in tv series Valiant Lady (1953-1957), and appeared in some films like Queen Bee (1955) and Tight Spot - the photo above (1955). Can someone track something.

Of course but maybe her IMDb birth year is wrong like Jack Rader (1921).

I have uploaded a newspaper clipping about her from 1963 here.

She lived in Manhattan, NY and Wainscott, NY. Married prosperous Danish businessman Poul W. Fricke in 1956 (their marriage certificate reveals her real name was indeed Katherine Anderson). It mentions that as a teenager, she lived in Alhambra, California.

In the 1960s, she ran an arts programme called the Blue Curtain. All the media coverage refers to her as "Katherine Anderson Fricke". The last mention I can find of her alive is from 1971.

That should be enough to get you started.

Yup that's her.

Her death record gives her name at the time as "Katherine May Lane". It also lists her other names though, including "Katherine Lane Anderson", "Katherine Alexander" and "Katherine Fricke".

She must have married more than once. It also gives her birth details as 9 May 1911 in San Francisco. So IMDb were correct about the place but wrong with the date.

Edit: Also, according to the SSDI, her father was Ernest Lane, so she may have been born with that surname.

This is such a strange case. I don't doubt for one second that he's dead because there is an obit here, but he's still listed in the U.S. residency records as currently based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Must be an oversight. Never seen that happen before.

I noticed a change for actress Cate Bauer where she is said to have died in 2012. This is not true because she is safe and sound, plus the letter. I do not know why this kind of editing?
