N.Y. Times dancer obit dead wrong: Oops, the Times did it again.
The New York Times reported the death of Katherine Sergava, the beloved ballet dancer who played the dream version of Laurey in the original production of "Oklahoma!" yesterday. [...]
"I can confirm she is alive," said Al Narciso, a counselor at H-B Studios on Bank St in the Village where the 94-year-old Sergava taught three acting classes a week until recently. [...]
In a Nov 12 obit for Harlem photographer Marvin Smith, the Times reported the celebrated shooter had his own testicles removed after his brother died of genital cancer. The bamboozled broadsheet later had to appologize for printing a bizarre fabrication without checking with Smith's family.
