Have You Ever Thought About Changing Your Legal Name?

A friend of mine and I were talking the other day and somehow we got on the subject of celebrities changing their names, to have a better sounding professional name. You would probably be very surprised with a few of the ones we found. Almost everyone knows that Norma Jean was Marilyn Monroe's real name, but did you know that her real last name was Mortenson? Elton John wrote a song about Norma Jean, so lots of people know who that was. Movie star agents usually suggest that actors change their names, if they have unusual or somewhat weird names. I found this one. Issur Danielovitch Demsky, is a famous actor, but that is not his screen name. Who is it? It is Michael Douglas' famous actor father Kirk Douglas. A lot of young people would probably not even know who Kirk Douglas is but those over 50 should. Did you know that that was Kirk's real name? Archibald Leach is Cary Grant's real name,and my favorite male actor of all time. And Stephanie Joanne Angelina Germanotta is Lady GaGa. Who knew? Would you ever think about changing your name?
