| Posted: | | | | I have some problems finding a reliable source for a birth year for Julie Brown from Police Academy 2 and A Goofy Movie.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0113935/ http://www.nndb.com/people/455/000087194/#FN1 http://www.allmovie.com/artist/83239
The birth year is needed to separate her from the Julie Brown in V for Vendetta.
The problem is that IMDB has her BY as 1954. AllMovie has her BY as 1958 and NNDB as 1962 NNDB also claims that the by is often erroneously given as 1954.
What is her correct birth year? | | | The colour of her eyes, were the colour of insanity |

| Posted: | | | | Is it necessary to have correct BY ? We promote common names that do not exist (Andre Maranne, for example, see another thread), so why ask more for BY ? | | | Images from movies | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

To explain a little more, BY are not requested as BY (Rules ask not to enter them in general), but as identifiers when we have two identical common names. We accept that common name can be "incorrect", but we would not accept a fake identifier for that incorrect common name ? | | | Images from movies | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

| Posted: | | | | So in this case, what birth year would you select for her? If we were to choose blindly, some would select 1958, some 1954 and some 1962. To get linking working, everybody has to be on the same page. | | | The colour of her eyes, were the colour of insanity | | | Last edited: by reybr |

To get linking working, everybody has to be on the same page. I have many fake BYs in my database, since there is no other way to unlink two different actors with same common name. When I have to choose one, I try to evaluate the age of the actor in the movie. I have not Police Academy 2 , but if I had, I would try to evaluate the age of the actor. The movie was produced in 1984, so 1954 > 30 years, 1962 > 22 years. This can be distinguished, even if not sure. Middle date could be chosen in case of incertainty. Anyway, in contribution notes, I would precise "fake birth year evaluated from the age of the actress in the movie" | | | Images from movies | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

What is her correct birth year? There's also another Julie Brown, in Looking for Eric (as Nurse), to make it erm... easier |

| Posted: | | | | She attended Van Nuys High School. She isn't a registered alum, though. If anyone has a kid there, maybe they could check the yearbook archive. |

| Posted: | | | | If I check her official site through the waybackmachine on a date in 2006, it says that she was born in 1962. Would that be acceptable documentation? | | | The colour of her eyes, were the colour of insanity |
