* There's a dispute as to whether he may have been born on May 26th. While there is some proof pointing to the 26th, the evidence is contradictory. He most assuredly was not born in June as a couple of sources report. Also, he did not die in Woodland Hills as some sources erroneously report. The home at which he died is actually several miles away from Woodland Hills.

More than two dozen sources were consulted in preparing this profile.
The most in-depth of these was the 1962 biography, The Young Man from Denver, by his brother Will Fowler.
