This year marks the 30th anniversary of Andy Kaufman's death—but his brother, Michael, is anticipating a much lower-key Andy Kaufman Award celebration on Oct. 12 than last year's. In November 2013, Michael Kaufman introduced a young woman claiming to be Andy's daughter, who revealed that her father was still alive, living a peaceful life as a stay-at-home dad. Some stubborn conspiracy theorists had always doubted Andy's 1984 death, assuming it was part of some ultimate prank. Michael Kaufman initially seemed to endorse the young woman's claims, but quickly backpedaled in news interviews and claimed that he had been the victim of a hoax.
