Normally, I’d agree. But Charo’s case is unusual. Her “younger” year of birth is almost certainly not true. She got it by appearing before a judge and claiming that there was a typo on her birth certificate. The judge apparently didn’t figure this was a big deal and gave an official ruling that her birth year was the year she was claiming. It’s not like anyone was disputing the claim and there was any issue revolving around it. The judge probably figured that if a woman wants to adjust her age downwards, who cares?
But the evidence says that Charo’s original birth year of 1941 is a lot more likely to be true than her official birth year of 1951. For example, she had graduated from high school and been working as a singer for several years when she got married in 1966 - something that seems incompatible with her supposedly being fifteen in that year.

Superdude , it’s the oldest age and not the younger. Whatever age gives the least points is what is used, if there is a dispute.

My only regret is that it wasn’t 40 or 50 points; to spare America a few more decades of hate and lies.
I had Rush on my non-themed list. Points there or points here, it’s all good.
Another hit please. (10 points)
NEW YORK (AP) — Bernard Madoff, the infamous architect of an epic securities swindle that burned thousands of investors, outfoxed regulators and earned him a 150-year prison term, died behind bars early Wednesday...
Another in my infamous list bites the dust. And more points that I welcome.

Somehow I missed that Robert Rodan died back on March 25th. He was Adam, the DS Frankenstein monster.

On my list: Charles Grodin, dead at 86.
