theoldlady 2,306 Posted June 8, 2017 15 minutes ago, RadGuy said: I looked at the Wikipedia history and somebody changed the birthdate from 1921 to 1922 earlier today. But they might actually be right, as the source they used was an excerpt from the official Jake Lamotta website. Ok, I hope this is not the Mandela Effect going on! I will change to Hugh Downs - a retired American broadcaster. He covered Britain once in a while. He was on 20/20 before retiring! (Unless of course LaMotta actually was born in 1921 - they probably won´t let me change mid-way into the contest.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will thus change my pick to the retired broadcaster (20/20) Hugh Downs (Unless of course LaMotta was born in 1921!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone figured out whether Jake LaMotta was born in 1921 or 1922? Seems he is going downhill fast now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I will go, as mentioned previously with Hugh Downs, an American broadcaster, who was born in 1921. Jake's daughter wrote the birthdate as 1922 on her Facebook page.
