Born Betty Joan Perske, Bacall was amongst the great American actresses in classic cinema, known for her distinctive voice and sultry looks. A leading lady in Hollywood during the 1940s and 1950s, she counted "The Big Sleep", "The Mirror Has Two Faces", and "The Shootist" amongst her films. Though nominated for all the awards of the EGOT, she only claimed the Tony (twice) and an Oscar for her lifetime achievement.
She passed away in 2014.
4. Lana Del Rey
Answer: Elizabeth
Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, using the stage name Lana Del Rey, first started releasing albums in 2010, quickly establishing herself as a unique sound in the music industry, bringing forth a sultry and melancholic quality that few would be able to replicate in the decades to follow. Critiquing tragic romance and different decades of Americana across her discography, Del Rey has been a repeated Grammy nominee in both the pop and alternative genres for albums like "Paradise", "Lust for Life", and "Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd".
5. Rihanna

One of the best-selling female pop artists of all time, Rihanna, born in Barbados as Robyn Rihanna Fenty, started releasing records in the latter half of the 2000s, infusing dance, pop, and R&B for radio-ready tracks like "Umbrella", "S&M", and "We Found Love".
A multiple Grammy winner, an Oscar nominee (for best Original Song), and a Super Bowl halftime performer, she's also dabbled in acting (winning a Razzie, on one occasion), fashion, and philanthropic work.
6. Reese Witherspoon
Answer: Laura

7. Dakota Fanning
Answer: Hannah
Starting her acting career as a child, Dakota Fanning was featured in some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters in the 2000s though 'Dakota' is her middle name (she was born Hannah Dakota Fanning). Dakota was featured in many films in her youth, often as a child in danger (thinking of "War of the Worlds", "Man on Fire", and "Coraline" but she eventually took darker roles (Jane in the "Twilight" series) and leads, like in the the TNT drama "The Alienist".
Her sister, Elle, is also a famous actress.
8. Miley Cyrus
Answer: Destiny
Born Destiny Hope Cyrus, Miley's father (singer Billy Ray Cyrus of "Achy Breaky Heart" fame) nicknamed her Miley as a shorter version of 'Smiley'. A child star from the Disney Channel show "Hannah Montana", Cyrus transitioned from her early career into a massively successful adult music career (though not without some bumps along the way). Cyrus continued to release chart-topping albums, win Grammy Awards, act as a judge on "The Voice" (in the U.S.), and act in dramatic roles (like on "Black Mirror") well past her Disney days.
9. Helen Mirren
Answer: Ilyena
The winner of an Oscar (for "The Queen"), Emmy Awards (for "Prime Suspect"), and a Tony (for "The Audience"), Helen Mirren has long been celebrated as a standout British actress, having worked in film, TV, and theatre since 1965.

She has also, notably, portrayed both Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth II on screen.
10. Shania Twain
Answer: Eileen
Eilleen Regina Edwards changed her name to Shania Twain when she started releasing albums in the 1990s and her success, then, propelled her to household name status when she managed to become one of the top crossover artists at the turn of the century. Becoming the foremost earner in the country pop genre, she eventually became a Vegas residency regular. By that point, though, she'd won handfuls of Juno Awards in her native Canada and five Grammy Awards (from eighteen nominations).
