[edit] Grace Park's age

Grace Park, the Canadian actress, was not born in 1980. She was two years ahead of me and graduated from high school (Magee Secondary, Vancouver, Canada) in 1992 - I have the yearbook to prove it! http://www.pegasus3d.com/gracepark/index.html Although I am not sure how old she is (as some people graduate earlier and later than normal) I am guessing her birth year to be approximately 1974.

All the sources I have found on the web state her birthdate to be April 8, 1980. Granted this may simply be her publicity machine talking, but until you can pin down an actual date rather than estimating or provide a verifiable source, you'll forgive our skepticism. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 09:26, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I find it 'really' strange that Katee Sackhoff's birthday seems to be April 8 1980 as well. Besides, I have seen some sources stating that Grace was born on March 6, 1979 (see [1] or [2]). --lightst (unlogged)

I think I have found a possible explanation. There is this golfer called Grace Park as well. Her birth date is consistently declared as June 3, 1979. Using the notation mm/dd/yy that would be 06/03/79. However, if the notation was dd/mm/yy, we would end up with 03/06/79 which reads like "March 6, 1979". I think that's the confusion: same name, different people, mistake when reading the date in numerical format. --lightst (unlogged)

And what is a verifiable source? The graduation picture hanging in Magee Secondary? Or her graduation picture and blurb from the 1992 yearbook? The latter is now available: http://www.pegasus3d.com/gracepark/index.html

It is also interesting how Katee Sackhoff, also of Battlestar Galactica fame, is also born on April 8, 1980, according to Wikipedia. Coincidence?

Adding to the age discussion: Grace was a friend of mine back in high school (Magee) - she and I sang together and I think we had one class together. I was Class of '91 and she was Class of '92. She was definitely born in 1974.

Yeah and Mandy Moore gave me her virginity in the back of my non-existent Buick. ;) Whats your proof that you and her were even in the same area?--Kross^Talk 05:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

At this point, we have the 1974 date which could theoretically be backed up from her graduating secondary school in 1992 [3], we have one source [4] that says 1979, IMDB has her at 1980. At this point, i'd say we should leave the birthdate out until we know for certain. Anyone found anything else yet? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 15:48, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

imdb is now listing her dob as March 6, 1979. Also, tv.com no longer claims she graduated from secondary school in 1992 [5] and it also claims her dob is March 6, 1979. The xenite fansite claims the same. If all these sources are unified, maybe we should move to that date, even if there is the possibility of the month/day mixup with the golfer.

Grace, if you read this, tell us your real date of birth :D imdb says April 8th, 1980... -gramercy

also, if she got her degree in 1997, that makes 1974 more likely (1997-23) -gramercy

March 14, 1974 ... anonymous relative

She talks about her age in part 3 of her Q and A at scifi.com. Notable but not exactly helpful. Paladin677 07:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

In the Q+A she confirms that the DOB on IMDB is correct, therefore I changed it but it has been changed back. She even says how other sites have her DOB wrong. Unless you are going to dispute that she doesnt know her own DOB or that she is lying then I suppose this is the most reliable source we have ?

Problem is, IMDB also used to state her birthday as April 8, 1980 so it's not always right. The reason why I prefer Bradley Thompson's dob for her as referenced is because it is the one that is most consistent with her graduating from high school in 1992. Taking the preponderance of evidence, the year that makes it all fit is 1974, not 1979. The reason I view the IMDB date with skepticism is because it's the same birthday as Grace Park the golfer - a remarkable coincidence all around if true.

I heard what Ms. Park said in her Q&A but she also said that she's been given Katee Sackhoff's birthday and Grace Park the golfer's birthday, which would imply that it's not Grace Park the golfer's birthday. So the answer is not as clear as one might suppose. I lean towards the date from a reliable source that fits the verifiable data best. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 16:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maxim mag

I added bout her being in maxim magazine just because some of her fans may appreacate it. Ok

[edit] University

University of Victoria -or- University of British Columbia? Bios on the web show both? Southsloper 10:34, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality

If she was born in LA (In the US) doesn't that make her a US Citizen?, so shouldn't that make her like an American Actress instead of Canadian?, sure she was born in LA and lived her whole life in Canada, but she was born in the US.DamianFinol 19:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
