Career

[edit]

Article says Evelyn Brent was born in 1901. But in career section, it says by 1941 she was 45. That would make her five years older than her stated date of birth. (unsigned edit by User:208.127.20.150)

Some sources say she was born 1899. I'm inclined to believe the earlier date, particularly with the very early career start. The claim is that she completed high school, commenced college, became a model, was employed as a movie extra, and then had her major motion picture debut all by the age of 14! It's likely she understated her age. On the other hand, even her tombstone says 1901.[1] In any case, the statement does not require a specific age, so I removed it.
