name of Katherine Stevens, before
she married and retired.
Twelve years later, her younger
sister, Gloria Wood, took the stage
name of Katherine Stevens and, in
her first picture, appeared opposite
McCrea. Then she learned that
Katherine Stevens is the real name
Of Barbara Stanwyck. who appears
in the same picture. Miss Stanwyck
took the Barbara from Barbara
Fritchie and the Stanwyck from an
other oldtime actress, Jane STAN
wyck.
Ria Novella, who was born in
Mexico, made her theatrical debut
as Una Villon. When she organized
a girls band she took the name Of
Rita Rio, but entered pictures as
Rita Shaw. Her studio didn't like
that, so now she's known as Dona
Drake.
Families Followed.
Margaret Hayes real name was
Fleurette Ottenheim. She and her
family changed it to OFT. Then she
decided to become known as Dana
OFT and later as Dana Dale. Her
studio which already had Virginia
Dale, changed it to Dana Edwards.
She didn't like the Edwards and her
studio didn't like the Dana, so they
changed it to Margaret Hayes. She
got the Margaret from one of her
early screen characters and the
Hayes was for the actress, Helen
Hayes.
When Glorida Weiman changed
her name to Gloria Warren, her
whole family also went to court
and had their name changed to
Warren. The same thing happened
when the Millican sisters became
better known as Priscilla, Lola and
Rosemary Lane.
