Wow, she has (for want of a better phrase) been around!
I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,365
Cult comedy star Andy Kaufman faked his own death in 1984 and is still alive, his brother has claimed.
Kaufman, best known for playing the incompetent Latka Gravas on the 1970s sitcom Taxi, officially died from lung cancer in 1984.
But, appearing at an award show named in Andy's honour, Michael Kaufman said he received a letter from his brother, confirming he was alive, in 1999.
He then introduced a woman who claimed to be Andy's 24-year-old daughter.
Her age would mean she was born five years after his death.
"He just wanted to be a stay-at-home dad, that's why he wanted to leave the showbiz," she explained at the New York event.
"He's pretty much a great dad, and raised us. My mom has her own business... He helps her with that kind of thing, paperwork and stuff, so he can work from home and he doesn't have to be hiding out [or] concealing himself."
"He just makes us food and takes care of the house."
It has since been claimed, however, that the mystery woman is in fact a New York actress whose father is a doctor.
If you believe they put a man on the moon.........!

Russell Brand has elbowed his way back into the headlines with a controversial appearance on Alan Carr's Chatty Man show, to be broadcast on Friday.
During filming Brand laid into David Cameron and George Osborne, according to a report in the Metro:
"I think if you're a bit mean and tight, and always cutting benefits and being horrible, it's because you don't know how to f*** properly", said the comedian.
He added: "I think if your job is to look after the country and you don't care about the people who need it most, you're out of order. And you're a filthy, dirty, posh w***er."
Wow its like he's channelling Samuel Pepys via Disraeli
I'm warming to Brand
He may be a total f**king prat
But he tells it like it is!

You really are ruining your reputation by posting stuff like this without giving a link to the source of the information or disinformation so that its veracity can be assessed.

Although technically it was the oldest animal they found, not a fossil.
Folk singer Roy Harper has been charged with sexually abusing a girl from the age of 12.
The 72-year-old is due before Hereford Magistrates' Court on Monday accused of nine counts of sexual assault.
West Mercia Police said the offences are alleged to have been committed in Herefordshire between 1975 and 1977 and relate to one victim.
Mr Harper, who lives in the Republic of Ireland, has performed with Pink Floyd and was an influence on Led Zeppelin.
The summons was issued to the musician, of Rossmore, Clonakilty, County Cork, on 16 October, after he was voluntarily interviewed by police at Heathrow Airport on 22 February.
Mr Harper has produced more than 30 albums during his career and performed on a sold out tour, last month.
He sang lead vocals on Pink Floyd's Have a Cigar on their 1975 classic album Wish You Were Here and was awarded the MOJO Hero Award by the music magazine in 2005.
Forbidden Fruit - Roy Harper
Baby, won't you play with me ?
Games that no one else can see ?
Leanin' over out my window
Flashing me a mini flower show
Steal away from mummy, oh there's my little girl
On the pillow of my tummy give my hair a curl
Run your fingers under and over, make us a little pool
And don't forget about tomorrow in the same place after school.
Baby, make me calm your fears
Let me hold your thirteen years
In between the silky, love me
Race my heart and let ..........
Oh baby I can feel you, see my thunderburst
Melting us together in the plains of magic thirst
We can be forever and ever, watching the water fall
Floating in the lake of all peace after love and after all.
We can be forever and ever, watching the water fall
Floating in the lake of all peace after love and after all.
Holy crap on a cracker....
