[edit] Date of Birth
http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/18/obit.gorshin.ap/index.html CNN says that he was 72, and I'm sure CNN checks their sources better than any of us Canadian Paul 22:16, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
MSNBC said he was born in 1933.
The Daily Telegraph, in its obituary, says he was "Born in Pittsburgh on April 5 1934".-Ashley Pomeroy 12:08, 19 May 2005 (UTC) Excellent picture, by the way.-Ashley Pomeroy 16:45, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
IMDB does in fact agree with you on that one, but then his obituary in IMDB News claims that he died at age 72. Can we do a sort of 1933/4 thing to make everyone satisfied? Canadian Paul 23:54, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
His official web-site says 1934. I think that we can take that as canonical. --Theo (Talk) 09:46, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
- The Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Archives and Records Administration, and the Social Security Adminsitration, all say Frank Gorshin was born in 1933. I can post a scan of Gorshin's VA card if that would help, but three government agencies I feel outweighs a fan or personal website. -Husnock 04:51, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

- FOLLOWUP: Even after posting his VA card, it was put in the article that Gorshin was born in 1934. With three government agencies giving a DOB of 1933, that seems pretty offical to me. If someone gets a hold of his birth certificate, that would of course outweigh everything. -Husnock 05:19, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

The section on his work needs to mention more of the roles that he played and expand his involvement in stage shows. It should also mention the major venues that he headlined with his stage act. --Theo (Talk) 09:46, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
