Michael Caine's original first name (Maurice) is actually pronounced "Morris," as it generally is in England. (I've heard him pronounce it that way.) It probably still would be in the U.S. if it weren't for M. Chevalier.

At least 50% or more stars even these days use a stage name. What's so unusual about that. In the old days it was even more.

Elton John's name was changed by Deed Poll, which is the legal way of changing your name in the UK. So his original birth name is irrelevant. He is legally called Elton Hercules John. It's not a stage name. He also now has a knighthood, so he is Sir Elton John.

Kirk Douglas's real name is actually Issur Demsky; Danielovitch is a patronym.

Many of these actors I new had birth names that were different. It's to bad that they don't just don't keep their original names.

Why the names are spoken out at the beginning but no more later? Is it a combination of two separate videos?
