In the 20th century, it seemed like every actor had a stage name different from the name they were born with. It appears that Hollywood executives had a dislike for ‘plain’ names like Kappelhoff and Gumm (I wonder why!) How many of these famous actors can you match with their real names?

9 out of 11. 🙂 Great quiz! 🙂
Oh, thanks for playing this old quiz, Zaklina! And you did excellently 🙂
I feel so vintage, now. 😀
Lol not quite!! ???
Vintage sounds better than old. 😀
For a car perhaps! ‘Mature’ may be the best choice ?
Hahahahahahaha! You know, in Serbian “mator” is a synonym for “old”, but in pejorative sense. 😀
Not in English! Well I suppose it depends on the tone, but normally it implies good sense, sobriety and wisdom ☺
I’m kidding. 😀 Of course I know the exact meaning of the word mature, just drew a parallel between those two. 🙂
very nice awesome got 10
Very nice score, Jasmine 🙂 Thanks for playing!
3/10 bad
amazing post
Got 8/11 all wild guesses..i never thought haha …cool quiz…one more Norman! Haha
I guess your guessing gland is in good shape, Trafalgar 🙂 Thanks for playing!
Just worked out my psycho gland..haha
5 crazy guessing errr 😀 🙂
Sometime it works!
I only got 7 of 11. I should have done better, since I knew all of them. I’m surprised you didn’t include Bernard Schwartz. lol
You had me scratching my head for a moment, but now I know who you mean. Yes, he should definitely have been there 🙂
7/11 is way above average, btw!
I got the sympathetic…Bad day, right?…Just 2/11….Movies and music are not my strongest points but great quiz as usual.
Thanks for your encouragement, as always 🙂 I’m guessing these are before your time!
Some I remembered (the 5 I got right) I rest I just guessed (wrong for all guesses)
There are certainly some strange names in there. Thanks for joining in 🙂
5 correct here, a lot I didn’t know.
You must be too young :p
6 out of 11. Great guesswork I hope
Good guesswork is an important skill! Well done, Meshack 🙂
Thanks
You have just to read the writer’s mind and you have it
Exactly! It seems you have that skill, my friend 🙂
7/11. Some surprises here, along the lines of “I didn’t know that wasn’t his/her real name”.
My reaction, too, when I was doing the research, John! Thanks for playing 🙂
Only three so not so good!
“Room for improvement” 😉 Thanks for playing, Michelle!
Definitely funny thing is I love older movies!
You got 3 out of 11 right!
Could be better
Never heard of them lol
Six out of 11.
You passed! Thanks for playing 🙂
I got only 4. I know nothing about them. ✌
Well thanks for playing, Cassy 🙂
Tough one! Only 5 correct.
A valiant attempt, at over 50%! Thanks for playing 🙂
I got 9 out of 11. i was aware of most of them, and many others. sofia loren good when she was young, like a supermodel.
Nice score, Fifi! Sofia Loren, yes, but several others too, are very easy on the eye. Thanks for playing 🙂
got 4 out of 11 right
okay! Thanks for playing 🙂
Oh man, only got 1 correct! Great quiz though!
Oh Mommy! Thanks for playing 🙂
only 3 correct!
Oh no!! Are you a baby maybe? Too young to remember any of these wrinklies? Because any other excuse just won’t work 😀 😀
Well not a baby but I drew a blank on most of them!
Millennial then 😀 (Same thing from my vintage point of view 😉 )
