Birthdate problem

edit

The subject couldn't have been born in 1956. Taylor-Corbett gave an interview the Denver Post 9 May 2017 where she says she moved to New York City at the age of seventeen and got two jobs, one as an usher at what was then the State Theater (home to the New York City Ballet), and another as a dancer with the Alvin Alley American Dance Theater. Apart from noting that she was the one white dancer in the company at the time, she specifically mentions being on tour with the Ailey company in Israel shortly after the Six Days War, which began 5 June 1967. Had she been born in 1956 as this article currently claims, she would have been performing in Israel in the summer of 1967 at age 11, which is impossible given the information she provides. It should be noted that Taylor-Corbett is willfully evasive on the subject of her current age, but she does share enough information in the story of her early career as a dancer to safely infer that she could not have been born any later than 1950. When I get some more time, I will endeavour to expand and correct this article to the extent that I the information taken from the interview will allow.
