Her dad's surname was Ruston, but he double-barrelled her name to Hepburn-Ruston because he had an ancestral link to James Hepburn, third husband of Mary, Queen of Scots. Her dad left when she was 6, a traumatic experience for a young child so eventually she dropped his name when she started her professional career. Pic related is how 10 year old Audrey's name was recorded in the 1939 National Register (database of every civilian in England and Wales at the outbreak of WW2) when she went to a small boarding school in England. t.

>>220418487haha what a name
>>220419739>>220419658depends. Actors have to register their stage name with one of the unions and they have to unique. Michael Keaton's birth name is Michael Douglas, but Michael Douglas was already registered at the time by the son of Kirk Douglas, whose birth name was Issur Danielovitch (changed to Demsky at immigration to the US, changed to the name he is famous for joining the Navy). Maurice Joseph Micklewhite has been known as Michael Caine since the 60s, but only made his stage name his legal name in the 2010.
>>220420133kek'd and check'd
>>220419658in my country, changing the name was almost impossible. but a few years ago they decided that you can just change your gender and then say your name no longer reflects your gender identity and you want to change it. 3 months reflection period before you need to affirm it and then you cannot change it back for one year. I have seriously been toying with the idea to just change my gender to "none", get myself a middle name, then in a while change the gender back to male (or not, does not really matter what the file says). and use the middle name as primary name. when I was younger and moving around more I would have straight up done that, at this point it would be too much hassle to change my name in daily life.

>>220424233Because having a stupid sounding name is likely to impair your career in acting. Or if your name clashes with someone already registered in the acting guild for instance (the reason Samuel L Jackson uses the L). Or to downplay an ethnic background that might also impair your career.

>>220423974>>220424028>After the death of her husband, Orpah and her sister-in-law Ruth wished to go to Judea with Naomi. However, Naomi tried to persuade both Ruth and Orpah to return to their people and to their gods. Ruth chose to remain with Naomi, but Orpah chose to return to her people and her gods. >In rabbinic literature, the treatment of Orpah is almost entirely negative. Babylonian Talmud (Sotah 42b) identifies Orpah with Harapha, the mother of the four Philistine giants (2 Samuel 21:16), one of whom was Goliath.She was named as a literal anti-jew figure.
>>220424237nah it's the local scottish or irish (can't remember) equivalent of Margaret, like how John is Jean in French.

>>220426603Not at all. Latino, Polish and other Eastern Euro names, Irish, Italian, numerous Asian countries, even African names, all sorts have had actors take names to downplay heritage.

>>220432076I have no idea.

>AwkwafinaNora Lum
>>220432226Dolph is a common shortening of Adolph/Adolf, but I assume in Sweden it is less directly linked to that Adolf, since Adolph was also the name of several of their kings, including the most famous Gustavus Adolphus II.
>>220432014it's why you'll get a Chinese-American actor named something like Qiáo Dacheng who goes by David Cho or whatever. It's still Chinese, but it's a nonthreatening, more Anglo friendly one.

>>220432290Not just actors, a lot of Chinese (and Korean) people who travel abroad for work/business take a western first name to make it easier on their colleagues/business partners.Indians as well, though they tend to just drop a few syllables at the end to save time.
>>220416451unusual surname indeed.
>>220432322>Ali was born in Oakland, California, on February 16, 1974, to Willicia Goines and Phillip Gilmore.

>>220427317NTA but it's the same name retard, almost all names omit the fucking middle name. It's not even spelled differently as it's transcribed from a different alphabet and it's a matter of opinion which letters should be used AND it's not even his middle name it's just saying his father is called Boris like all Russians do.

>>220418267>Mark Sinclair is actually a great actor name just not fitting for Diesel's vibeTrue, However;Mark Sinclair changed his name to “Vin Diesel”. Sarah Sinclair changed her name to “Olivia Coleman”. “Jaz Sinclair” actually uses the surname “Sinclair”, however her real name is “Jasmine Sinclair Sabino” which isn’t so bad as far as misleading the public. The fact that Jaz Sinclair starred in “Gen V” as a supe that could manipulated blood, and heal people, and possibly raise people from the dead, given the plot of that past Tom Hanks film with the sequel is sort of interesting.

>>220427317>excluded middle nameIt's not a middle name, it's a patronymicon. Slavic names work differently. To strangers he's be Yuliy Bryner, only very good friends would call him Yuliy Borisovitch (and leave the Bryner out).

>>220423867Hi, I'm gay actor Michael Douglas, and I just want to say that I'm the best Douglas out there, because I am very gay, and my ass is constantly full of cum. I drive up to the Faggot gas station, where us gays get our asses filled with cum. Gay cum. As I'm bent over, filling up with cum, my eyes tick from Empty to Full like in a Tom & Jerry cartoon. Now you might be wondering to yourself, "Michael, I too want to get filled up with cum, but I'm too ugly to get other gay men hard!". Well don't worry, because, that's where today's sponsors BlueChew and Bet DSI dot com come in. You can bet, that if other gays chew that Blue, you'll be able to get filled up with cum, just like me. Oil prices may be high, but cum prices are about to hit an all time-low, once you roll up to that stall, with a pocket full of BlueChew. If you're in the market for cum, it's time to sell, because the bubble is about to burst. And you can bet on it, like a jew! It's like the stock market, but with gay and cum, so like the stock market. Remember use promo code:4chan to get 10 % off your first order. That's U R A N I G G E R, promo code: 4chan. Now back to the episode!
