Biography

Subject: Isaac Bashevis Singer.

Known credits: 14.
Gender: Male.
Birthday: July 14, 1904 (Note: Bio says Nov 11, 1903; Source [2] says Nov 21, 1902. I must be careful. The prompt says "Use ONLY facts present above". If sources conflict, I should stick to what is explicitly stated or present the information carefully. However, the prompt says "Write a... factual identity profile". Usually, in these tasks, if multiple sources provide different dates, I should look at the provided "TMDB BIO" text first as it's part of the prompt's input, then check the other sources. The TMDB BIO says Nov 11, 1903. Source [1] says July 14, 1904. Source [2] says Nov 21, 1902. This is tricky. I will prioritize the text provided in the "TMDB BIO" section for biographical details if possible, or simply state his roles.)
