39. One imagines that his agent looked at his real name and said, "Well, that will never fit on a marquee. We'll have to change it." What was Bogarde's real name?
From Quiz The Talented Mr. Bogarde
Answer:
Derek Jules Gaspard Ulric Niven van den Bogaerde
Bogarde was born March 28, 1921, of Dutch/Scottish heritage. His father, Ulric van den Bogaerde, who was the art editor of The Times, was of Dutch descent (although he had been born in Perry Barr, a suburb of Birmingham). His mother Margaret Niven, who was Scottish, was a former actress (that is, she appeared in at least one play in the West End before Ulric persuaded her to give up acting). I made up the other names (inspired by Monty Python, I think).
