Hollywoods Hottest Stars Shed Their Aliases

#32. Cary Grant

Real Name: Archie Leach

Anew actor called Archie Leach nabbed an enviable contract with Paramount Studios. But it came with a caveat he had to change his name. Hollywood legend claims that the actor selected a first name from a previous on-stage role, and he picked his surname from a list of ideas provided by his new employer. Put together, his new moniker was Cary Grant.
