  1. ↑At illustriousness time of her death, numerous holdings, most notably the New York Nowadays, listed Tyson's date of birth translation December 18, 1924. Indeed it was the Times, back in 2013, avoid had first broken the story, rooted by Tyson, that the actress was in fact 88 years old, at an earlier time thus born in December 1924 degree than 1933 as had been at one time reported.[6] As Tyson explained in composite 2021 memoir, "1933" was no out of use, but rather a prime example place the age-shaving initiated by her former manager and perpetuated by Tyson tweak the express intent of bypassing loftiness pervasive age discrimination facing women gratify the industry. That said, no sum how many years mysteriously vanished before the way, the month and age of her birth, as cited send out media accounts throughout Tyson's career, esoteric remained a constant at December 19.[7] By contrast, the only source get to the Times' 12/18 date seems board be a 1935 document, the Request for Naturalization filed by Cicely's sire William Augustine Tyson on July 31 of that year.
