According to IMDb, Kathryn Reynolds who played Claire on Soap was born in 1927?! Is that right? There’s no picture of her on IMDb, only some movie stills that I don’t see her in.
On the show she looks 30 easily.
I wonder if that’s a mistake on IMDb. The soap credits lists her as Kathryn Reynolds, so maybe!

I'm not too familiar with Kathryn but I think she's been accurately identified in these images, the first 3 of which are from Soap:

279727279728

279729279730

She certainly looks a lot younger than 50, but I wouldn't question the Oct. 1927 d.o.b.

Acting credits for Kathryn go back to 1965, when she was under 40.
She was probably 49 when her Soap eps were filmed.

Yup that’s her! I think maybe they put the wrong Kathryn Reynolds.

That's so odd that IMDB has her listed as being born in 1927. I remember looking her up after watching a rerun of Soap on Antenna TV a few years back because I wondered whatever happened to her and I distinctly remember her birth date being listed as 1947 which would have made her 30 just as Claire said she had just turned 30 in one of the Soap episodes. Unless she aged REALLY well she was obviously not 50 in Soap.

She doesn't look to be nearly 50 in the pics. IMDB says she also goes by Kay, and the details are sketchy on that name online. But the few sites hit make out like she's still alive, but no other data.

They're probably the same person but I really doubt that birth year is correct.

I agree!

Yes, it must be a typo.
