Wikipedia is lying to me.
Aug. 10th, 2014 08:19 pmA while back I got bit by a plot bunny (rabid critters, I know) about classic movie star Cyd Charisse being a Vulcan stranded on Earth. Which plot bunny I am now writing in fits and starts.
And obviously, the background information we have on her will have to be massaged to fit. But Wikipedia is lying to me. It says she was born in 1922 and joined the Ballets Russe de Monte Carlo at age 14. Which would be 1936, for those of you who have basic arithmetic skills.
The problem is that Wikipedia also tells me that the Ballets Russe de Monte Carlo was not formed until 1938.
I am choosing to believe that Cyd Charisse was 16 when she joined the Ballets Russe de Monte Carlo the year it formed, as that fits better with the timeline of my story.
