So far as movie stars' names go, we live in an enlightened era. Back in the Golden Age of Hollywood, studio heads changed actors' names to sound less ethnic [especially Slavic, Jewish, Italian], more glamorous -- more American!. e.g. Bernie Schwartz became Tony Curtis; Mavis Fluck became Diana Dors.
So, pretend you are the Head of FWFR Studios! How would you rename some stars of today? Add your suggestions to the following list [and add more real names of your own] Then maybe we can have a Studio Board Meeting to decide the winners!
Arnold Schwarzenegger
BaftaBabe: Arnold Strong
Ren�e Zellweger
BaftaBabe: Zelda Wagner
Mary Steenburgen
BaftaBabe: Mary Burgine
Robert Di Niro
BaftaBabe: Bob Denny
Leonardo DiCaprio
BaftaBabe: Len Capp

Reminds me of a fwfr for Pirates that was to the effect that Orlando's character was Guybrush Threepwood. Is that what you're thinking of, Mampers? |
