Andy Kaufman still alive, claims 'daughter'

Andy Kaufman still alive, claims 'daughter'




Comedian Andy Kaufman, who died nearly 30 years ago, is still alive – that's according to a 24-year-old woman claiming to be his daughter.

She says her father faked his own death in 1984 to be a stay-at-home dad.

More a performance artist than a comedian, Kaufman wanted his audiences to question reality.

The entertainer died suddenly from cancer in 1984, but ever since there have been rumours that his death was an elaborate hoax.


At the annual Kaufman Awards this week  his brother Michael brought along a young woman, who told the crowds she was Andy Kaufman's daughter and that her father is still alive.

It's not the first time someone has claimed Kaufman as their father.

One story was that his long-lost son tracked him down in Albuquerque and posted a video online after Kaufman shunned him.  Whoever posted the video claims the footage shows Kaufman walking through a parking lot in New Mexico.

But the latest claims by the woman calling herself Andy Kaufman's daughter are by far the strongest.

She even said he had considered going to the awards that night - but backed out at the last minute.
