Answer: Aphasia

Aphasia is a devastating illness that causes speech production and processing in the brain to break down. People with aphasia will often be unable to gather intended words, order sentences in the correct way, or understand the speech of others. This makes the job of an actor all but impossible. Bruce Willis has had an illustrious film career and starred in some of the biggest box office hits of the 80s and 90s, with ticket sales between $5-8 billion.

Answer: Gumm

Judy was born Frances Ethel Gumm. It is not too hard to imagine why she decided to change her name when she started on stage and screen. She and her sisters did start dancing as the Gumms, but a bad audience reaction of laughter was part of the reason she and her siblings changed their name to something more fragrant.

It may have been George Jessel, who performed with the group at the Oriental Theater, who suggested the name change, but after that, a star was born.
