[edit] Dates and such

I still can't find any records of her birth date, or even of her age at any given time. No obits, either; I don't know if she's still alive or dead.

Genealogy sites list several Betty Lusters, many over 70 years old, spread across the country, so that's no help. Likely it was just a stage name, but I've no proof of that.

Anyway, the point is, any help or information on Ms. Luster would be appreciated. Cheers. -- Yamara 12:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Breakthrough

Pictues of Luster have shown up on jamd.com, and one has a caption:

So searching can renew for Betty Luster with a birth date of 1921/1922, and the name "Luster" now a more likely maiden name. -- Yamara 20:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
