Real Names

[higherlevel4u]

Okay, here's an idea for one of those "Well, I didn't know that" threads .... we all know the names of a lot of famous people, but how many of them started life with a completely different name, and what was it?

Here's three to get you started:

First one is very well known .... Elton John (Reginald Dwight)

Second is less well known .... Judy Garland (Frances Gumm)

Third is even less well known .... Kirk Douglas (Issur Danielovitch Demsky)


So let's be having them ....
