More Real Names of Old Hollywood Stars

Last week I shared  the real names of some of our favorite classic film stars. I enjoyed putting that post together so much that I thought I would share a few more.

Many are simple, average American names and some are very indicative of  the actor/actresses culture. But no matter why they changed their names, their new stage names defiantly worked for them. Don't you think?

Hedy Lamarr = Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler

Gary Cooper = Frank James Cooper

Carole Lombard = Jane Alice Peters
