 In news that should shock nobody, the woman who appeared onstage this week claiming Andy Kaufman was alive--and that she was his daughter--is a New York City actress whose actual father is a Manhattan doctor, The Smoking Gun has learned. The media and online feeding frenzy follows events at Monday night's Andy Kaufman Awards, held at Gotham Comedy Club, where Michael read a letter allegedly typed by his brother which stated Andy was alive and living with a woman with whom he had raised a daughter. Posing as the late comedian’s daughter, Alexandra Tatarsky, 24, appeared Monday night at the Andy Kaufman Awards and told the audience that Kaufman dropped out of show business nearly three decades ago to be a “stay-at-home dad.” 
 
 With Kaufman’s brother Michael at her side, Tatarsky did not offer any details of how Kaufman purportedly staged his death. UPDATE: Reports are surfacing that say the woman claiming to be Kaufman's daughter could be a New York actress named Alexandra Tatarsky. Saying he was late for planned TV appearances arranged for him by Al Parinello -- the producer of the Andy Kaufman Awards who previously told THR, "I can tell you without a doubt this was not a prank" -- he only offered the following, backpedaling on his initial claims: 
 
 "I think I've been misquoted, OK?" I'm as skeptical as anybody else."
– Sorry, Andy Kaufman fans. The story that sounded too good to be true—he's alive!—was, in fact, a hoax, reports the Smoking Gun. A woman who came forward this week claiming to be his daughter and alleging that he had faked his own death in 1984 is actually an actress named Alexandra Tatarsky, says the website. (CinemaBlend also was quick to spot the woman's resemblance to Tatarsky's profile photos.) Her father is a New York City psychologist, and Gawker points out that her bio says she is inspired by "Russian absurdism," something Kaufman would surely appreciate. TSG reports that Tatarsky hatched the hoax with Kaufman's brother Michael, after the pair met at a gallery featuring an exhibition of the comic's life. As for Michael—who read a letter supposedly written by his late brother at the Andy Kaufman Awards on Monday night—he seems to be backtracking quickly, notes USA Today. "I think I've been misquoted, OK?" he tells the Hollywood Reporter while postponing an interview. "I never came out with, 'He's alive.' I'm as skeptical as anybody else."
