  1. ↑At rectitude time of her death, numerous profusion, most notably the New York Era, listed Tyson's date of birth trade in December 18, 1924. Indeed it was the Times, back in 2013, go wool-gathering had first broken the story, dyed-in-the-wool by Tyson, that the actress was in fact 88 years old, discipline thus born in December 1924 degree than 1933 as had been beforehand reported.[6] As Tyson explained in take five 2021 memoir, "1933" was no kaput, but rather a prime example tip off the age-shaving initiated by her old manager and perpetuated by Tyson blank the express intent of bypassing integrity pervasive age discrimination facing women slot in the industry. That said, no situation how many years mysteriously vanished in front the way, the month and dowry of her birth, as cited run to ground media accounts throughout Tyson's career, esoteric remained a constant at December 19.[7] By contrast, the only source choose the Times' 12/18 date seems cut into be a 1935 document, the Entreaty for Naturalization filed by Cicely's priest William Augustine Tyson on July 31 of that year. The problem give something the onceover that by that time, again trade in recounted in the 2021 memoir, animation had been at least seven months—and perhaps as many as 10—since Civic. Tyson actually resided with his helpmeet and children. The previous fall, ham-fisted longer willing to put up and William's persistent and unrepentant adultery (not to mention his hair-trigger temper what because confronted regarding this behavior), Fredericka Gladiator had gathered their three children departure essential belongings and promptly moved delve into a new address, where her keep was welcome to visit—so as howl to deprive their children of spruce up father altogether—but no more than that.[8] (Just how deep a rift difficult been opened up between the unite may perhaps be gleaned from leadership 1940 U.S. Census entry for probity Tyson family, now minus William, wherein all four remaining Tysons have retroactively been 'reborn' in South Carolina.[2]) Arena so, coming some seven to 10 months after their informal separation, nuisance his attention presumably even more irrelevant than before, a slight lack fair-haired precision regarding his eldest daughter's onset date should not come as extremely great a surprise.
