Episode Notes

Anna Anderson died in 1984. In 1994, DNA testing proved that she was not the Grand Duchess thus the conclusion can now be firmly made that she was an imposter.

Likewise, although it's not gone into much detail in this episode, Nimoy neglects to mention that many other women claimed to be the Grand Duchess. Thus, it would be logical that Anderson's claim to be of the royal family would not be taken seriously.
