[edit] Emmys 2001

The Emmys show in 2001 was delayed from September to November due to the 9/11 attacks. The show aired on November 4, 2001, Doris' birthday. Doris won that year for "Everybody Loves Raymond". In her acceptance speech, she said something along the lines of : "What a wonderful gift for my 71st birthday!". Therefore, Doris was born in 1930, and not 1929. I keep changing the date, but it keeps getting changed back. Doris surely did not lie about her age.

Any actress can lie about her age - I thought she was born as early as 1925 because of something I read in People magazine, but I have been forced to conclude for now that this is not the case. All reference materials related to her give 1930 as her year of birth and she would probably not bother to shave just one year off (although you never know). Whoever is changing the year to 1929 is going by IMDb, but IMDb is not always correct!! When she dies we'll probably learn for sure, not to sound creepy or anything.

I'm changing it back to 1930. 216.194.4.2 06:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

There's a much simpler way to find out the correct year: See if she was counted in the 1930 Census.--Fallout boy 05:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
