Andy Kaufman spent his whole life pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. It seems the hoaxer's legacy lives on, even after his supposed death. Recently, a woman claiming to be Kaufman's daughter shocked the world, when she revealed that Andy was alive and well. Andy’s old friend, WWE superstar Jerry "The King" Lawler, even challenged his former rival to a Wrestlemania grudge-match, from beyond the grave. However, the woman claiming to be Kaufman's kid has since been revealed as an actress.
Recently, a woman claiming to be Andy Kaufman’s daughter came forward to reveal that he was actually alive. The young woman crashed the Andy Kaufman Awards at New York's Gotham Comedy Club, where she told Andy’s brother Michael that Kaufman was still alive:
"He just wanted to be a stay-at-home dad, because that's why he wanted to leave the show biz. I know don't know how much longer he can keep everything away. He was really thinking about coming."
However, it has since been revealed that the woman is actually an actress named Alexandra Tatarsky. Still, rumors that Kaufman faked his death are bound to live on for years to come.
After news broke that Kaufman might still be alive, Jerry “The King” Lawler wasted no time challenging his old rival to a wrestling match. Lawler recently spoke with CNN about Kaufman:
"I would like nothing better than to know that Andy was still alive and been with us all this time. But like anybody else, I really don't know any more than what I've heard. It could be a great hoax in his honor, dreamed up by his friend Bob Zmuda and his brother, Michael. That would be something that would be in keeping with Andy's tradition, but who's to say. It could really be legit."
Lawler added that if Kaufman was still alive, he would want to step into the squared-circle with him one more time:
"There should be a WrestleMania rematch between Andy and The King. We could rekindle the feud with no problem."
