Date of birth

edit

The longstanding date of birth that this article uses, July 8, 1950, has no source and doesn't jibe with her age at death, which is being universally reported as 62. A few editors have tried flipping the 1950 to 1952, which is better, but it still might not be correct. --Bongwarrior (talk) 06:30, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Bongwarrior: I actually sourced her birth date from this link over at FamilySearch, which is a vital record from the California Birth Index, so I believe it to be correct. BrillLyle (talk) 03:33, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, that looks good to me. --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:55, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

When I heard that Trainor died I was appalled that on her Wikipedia page the main definition of her decades of work was only in relation to her ex-husband. I tried to make this entry more reflective of the fact that Trainor was a character actor who consistently worked and had a successful career in her own right. Unfortunately when I tried searching for more detailed interviews and/or news on Trainor's work I was not super successful, even in paywalled databases, so it would be great if anyone has further citations beyond Trainor being listed as a cast member, if they could contribute.....
