The 1961 death date is unsourced. His Wikidata item gives the death date of 1940 with 2 references. Can anyone help verify which of these is correct?

The 1961 date was added by
User:Moviebuff1921 without edit summary. Moviebuff1921, what was your source? If none is forthcoming, I would go with the
Wikidata source and say 1940. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 22:31, 10 August 2021 (UTC)reply
I found 1961 on IMDB, though IMDB may itself be citing Wikipedia without attribution. Uninterested in untangling a saga of citogenesis, I went ahead and changed the year of death to match BnF and SNAC databases.
