If I ever had to place faces with real names,I'm afraid I would have a very hard time matching them all up.
It's so interesting how a lot of them picked too.
I think that Ruby Stevens (the real name of Barbra Stanwyck) was a cute name, but i dont think it would have worked in Hollywood.
Other names to add to the list:
AUDREY HEPBURN -----EDDA VAN HEEMSTRA HEPBURN-RUSTON
KAY KENDALL--------JUSTINE McCARTHY
JANE RUSSELL------ERNESTINE GERALDINE RUSSELL
JAYNE MANSFIELD-----VERA JAYNE PALMER
RHONDA FLEMING-----MARILYN LOUIS
JEFF CHANDLER-----IRA GROSSEL
