  1. There's a great deal of online confusion about Rafael Storm, a/k/a Rafael Alcayde. Wikipedia has him born in 1888, but that seems impossible, given his youthful appearance in films of the '30s and '40s. Wikipedia lists him as a native Californian who died in 1951, but his profile on IMDB seems far more accurate. There he's listed as having been born in Havana in 1906, and having died in Acapulco in the '90s. His IMDB credits show that he left Hollywood in the late '40s, when he went to Mexico and had a thriving second career in Spanish language films. His IMDB bio, as Rafael Alcayde, seems far more accurate than that on Wikipedia.

    1. I believe you are right. The original dates I had on here were from IMDB back in 2014. They've changed their info and I've changed mine based on your comment. Thanks.
