Like Mamie van Doren, Diana Dors could both sing and act. Her last name, Dors, was a stage name: her birth name was Diana Mary Fluck. According to Dors, nobody wanted to contemplate what would happen if her real name was up in lights on a marquee and one of the letters burned out!
Dors was a stage name, and a family name
Grandmother was Georgiana Dors. I believe the word dors is French for sleep. Hmmmmm......
How about Vera Palmer, Joan Olander, Norma Mortensen? Who are they?

They are the birth names of Jayne Mansfield, Mamie van Doren, and Marilyn Monroe.
One funny irony about Mamie is that he mother was a big Joan Crawford fan, and named her daughter Joan as a result, but of course she dropped Joan when she bacame Mamie. Crawford herself was born Lucille LeSeuer, which to me sounds more like a movie star name than Joan Crawford.

Lucille LeSeuer is definately more star oriented than Joan Crawford, which sounds like a real estate agent. How about these: Leonard Rosenberg, Tula Finklea, William Beedle, Edythe Marrener?
Tony Randall (Mansfield's co-star in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter), Cyd Charisse, William Holden, and Susan Hayward.
I'd take Bill Beedle under any name so long as I could have him the way he looked in Sunset Boulevard!
I'm sure you know what big star was born Glenn Harris Milstead . . .
