The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1959, 1974, 1979, 1984—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1959-05-21. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Jesús, Ochoa and actor providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Jesús Ochoa (actor)”, the useful work is to connect “actor” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 24, 2026.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
