Was she born in 1927 (IMDb) or 1925 (German Wikipedia)? I'd appreciate it if someone could find out. <KF> 13:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

1927 seems to be the right year, and in the meantime the German Wikipedia has corrected it. See Kronen Zeitung (June 15, 2006), p.94:

Diese Frau ist ein Phänomen: Am vergangenen 7. Juni feierte die noch immer jugendliche Waltraut Haas 79. Geburtstag. Der Filmstar der fünfziger und sechziger Jahre ist damit auf den Tag genauso alt wie Wiens Altbürgermeister Helmut Zilk.

The fact that Haas was born on June 9 rather than June 7 seems to be due to sloppy editing by the Kronen Zeitung journalist, "W.U.". <KF> 17:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
