Notes
  1. There is debate about when Grant was born. Government records say she was born in 1925 and in an interview she also mentioned she was born in 1925,[1][2] however Grant herself has mentioned her age many times and often different every time. In some cases, when she would mention her age, her birth year would differ from 1927–1931[3][4][5]

The granddaughter of Polish and Russian immigrants is famously inexact about her age. From her mid-20s to her mid-30s, the blacklist left her unemployable in TV and film, so she lied about her years, whatever they were, to remain viable as an actress.
