Anne Edwards, author of ``Early Reagan,'' concluded that Wyman was named Sarah Jane Mayfield and was born on Jan. 5, 1917, to Gladys Hope Christian and Manning J. Mayfield, a young couple that filed for divorce in 1921. Wyman was evidently placed in the care of a middle-aged couple, Richard and Emma Fulks. Following the death of Richard Fulks, his widow moved to Los Angeles with Sarah Jane to live with relatives.

LOS ANGELES — Jane Wyman, the Academy Award-winning actress whose long and distinguished film and television career was nearly overshadowed by her real-life role as the first wife of actor-turned-politician Ronald Reagan, died Monday. She gave her age as 90, but other biographical sources say she was 93.

Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Jane Wyman, the Oscar-winning actress who was married in the 1940s to Ronald Reagan, then gained new fame starring in a television drama while he was in the White House, died today. She was at least 90.

Wyman was born Sarah Jane Mayfield in St. Joseph, Missouri. Although her birthdate has been widely reported for many years as January 4, 1914, research by biographers and genealogists indicates that she was born January 5, 1917.[3][4][5][6] The most likely reason for the 1914 date is that she added to her age when beginning her career as a minor in order to work legally.[7] She may have changed her January 5 birthdate to January 4 to coincide with that of her daughter Maureen Reagan. After Wyman's death, a release posted on her official website confirmed these details.[1]
