This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the George Raft article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

Brining back discussion of this as still an issue. Yes, Raft does say on the Mike Douglas Show that he was born in 1895, and yes that is the date on his grave. However, there is also convincing written evidence that he was born 6 years later - namely pre-fame census results and SSI info. And it's worth pointing out that Raft had publicly given different years of birth during his lifetime and there are a number of his cultural peers who appear to have incorrect birth years on their graves (Bing Crosby, Irene Dunne, Walter Huston, Joan Crawford, Hattie McDaniel to name a few) so definitely not a clear cut case. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to obtain his birth certificate? It would be good to nail this down at nearly 45 years after his death. So any discussion or further evidence please present here.
