Talk:Miiko Taka

message: I found articles in the newspaper saying that Miiko Taka was married for fourteen years from 1944 until 1958.  However, her brithdate seems to be 1932.  This can't be correct. Anyone know Miiko Taka's real birthday? 132.239.1.230 17:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Article "Actress Miiko Taka of Movies Wins Divorce" states that she was married in 1944, and in 1958 Taka and her husband had two children, aged 12 and 13. That means that they were probably born in 1945-1948.  This would mean that either a) Taka was married at 12 years old, and had two children between the ages of 13 and 15 or b) IMDB is an unreliable source in this instance. Especially considering that IMDB is not considered always a reliable source and , I think that unless a better source than IMDB is found for Taka's birthday, we should assume that that LA Times article is reliable, and therefore she was not born in 1932 and therefore married with two children before she was 15.  In this instance we can safely say that the IMDB is an unreliable source. XinJeisan (talk) 15:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: For what it's worth, I think we can reliably say that her birth year was 1925 based on the following two sources.  The link  gives her name as Betty Miiko Shikata (noting that her name in movie credits is Miiko Taka).  It also notes that she was interned at the Gila relocation camp.  This enabled me to locate her internee archival entry at  which gives her birth year as 1925. The "1932" year may have been a mistake, or it may have been used for professional reasons (to make her more marketable, as is often done in the acting profession).  — Myasuda (talk) 13:31, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The Hollywood Reporter obituary states that the "News of her death was posted Jan. 4 on social media by a grandson." That isn't necessarily the day she passed. It doesn't seem right to put that as the death date in the info box. XinJeisan (talk) 14:18, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
