Just not the same, is it? There's a perfectly good reason why celebrities dump their real names. Sometimes a birth name lacks that showbiz pizazz needed for stardom.

Back in the Fifites and Sixties almost everyone got a new name - whether they needed it or not. Would we have loved The Duke any less if he remained Marion Morrison instead of being John Wayne?

Anyway, more lists. I tried to include some more modern folks, just so I didn't look older than well, Nathan Birnbaum.
