Source Notes
A forum member pointed to her biography in IMDB which states "Born on Monday at 11 PM EST." In fact, the valid timezone on 22 June 1953 was EDT. As NY state does not have the habit of recording standard time while daylight saving time was in force, it is assumed that IMDB was not aware of the correct timezone, but that the clock time reference is correct. IMDB is not a reliable resource, the birth time is not to be trusted.
