Castellanos quotes birth certificate
Sy Scholfield notes from his Wikipedia entry that "Muñoz Seca loved palindromic numbers [so] he often claimed that he was born in 1881. He also claimed to have been born at 10:15 pm, 'the normal time for shows to start.'" See: "Biblioteca teatral" by Valentín Azcune (CSIC, 2007), p. 84: "Propalé e hice constar en todas mis biografías, incluso en la oficial, que rige los destinos de mi destino, que había venido al mundo el 20 de febrero de 1881, a las diez y cuarto de la noche, hora corriente de comenzar los espectáculos."
