The Real Names of The Sixties Stars
           

Here's a bit of a quiz for you, or try it on your friends. They were all stars and superstars of the sixties scene and are still (mostly) household names, but what did their Mums and Dads call them?
They changed their names for many reasons........ for instance, Florence Bisenta De Casilles Martinez Cardona doesn't exactly trip off the tongue, does it? How many of them do you know?
