I remember the rst time I heard about movie stars not always
using their birth names in the movies they made, I was really
surprised. One of the very rst stars I found had changed his
real name for a stage name was Cary Grant. His real name was
Archibald Leech. Of course, that actually made sense because let's
face it … Archibald Leech? Yet sometimes an odd-sounding name
makes the artist even more famous as was the case for Engelbert
Humperdinck who's real name is Arnold George Dorsey. Here is
a list of some big stars with stage names:
• Tony Curtis: Bernard Schwartz
• Cary Grant: Archibald Leech
• Conway Twitty: Harold Lloyd Jenkins
• Chubby Checker: Ernest Evans
• Connie Francis: Concetta Rosa Maria Franconero
• Bobby Darin: Walden Robert Cassotto
• Tony Bennett: Antonio Benito
• Bruno Mars: Peter Hernandez
• John Legend: John Rogers Stephens
• Eminem: Marshall Mathers
• Jamie Fox: Eric Bishop
• Portia Di Rossi: Amanda Lee Rogers
• Whoopie Goldberg: Caryn Johnson
• Vin Diesel: Mark Vincent
• Snoop Dog: Calvin Broadus Jr.
• Faith Hill: Audrey Perry
• Lady Gaga: Stefani Germanotta
• Shania Twain: Eileen Edwards
• Carmen Electra: Tara Patrick
