I'm talking about this, of course.

She had to send her birth certificate to the WMF, just to stop this inane three-year-long squabble.
Yet the moronic editwar continued thereafter.

(Of course, you realize this shit happens for only one reason: Ms. Landau was on two TV shows
that Wiki-twidders obsess over, Buffy and Angel...... (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif) )

I was curious about this one so I did a little searching of my own.

Here are some newspapers published before the 1972 birth date that mention Martin Landau and Barbara Bain having two children (although they aren't named in every article):Then there this 1975 article, naming Juliet and identifying her as aged 10: Sarasota Herald-Tribune - Aug 12, 1975.

Probably more telling is this item from 1988 which identifies Juliet Landau as 21, which suggests that she was born in 1967.

I believe that the only reasonable explanation is that the Landau & Bain had four children, three of them named Juliet.

Actress sues IMDB for revealing her age

LOS ANGELES - An actress has filed a $1 million lawsuit against show-business database IMDb and its owner, Amazon.com, because IMDb revealed her true age.

With her age made public, she fears she will get fewer roles.

The actress, listed only as Jane Doe in the suit, claims that the site obtained her personal data in 2008, when she subscribed to IMDb's pay service, IMDb Pro, and subsequently listed her age in her bio.

"Shortly after subscribing to IMDbPro, plaintiff noticed that her legal date of birth had been added to her public profile ... revealing to the public that the plaintiff is many years older than she looks," according to the suit.

"In the entertainment industry, youth is king," the suit continues. "If one is perceived to be 'over-the-hill,' i.e. approaching 40, it is nearly impossible for an up-and-coming actress, such as the plaintiff, to get work."

While the suit doesn't list the aging thespian's name, it does list her state of residence as Texas.
