Note on Birthdate Discrepancy: Source [1] and [6] say 1946. Source [3] says 1945. I should mention the birth location (Queens, New York) and perhaps note the conflicting years if necessary, but usually, in an encyclopedia, I pick one or state the fact as provided. However, the prompt says "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported". Since there is a conflict, I will focus on the career facts.
