Answer: Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall was once Betty Joan Perske before she made her acting debut in "To Have and Have Not" (1944). An interesting note I found online about her was that she was staying in the same New York apartment building as John Lennon of the Beatles when he was shot.

He died on December 8, 1980 after being shot at the Dakota. Bacall had been interviewed about the shooting; however, she had said that she "assumed that it was a car tire bursting or a vehicle backfiring".

Answer: Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas was born Issur Danielovitch on December 9, 1916 in Amsterdam, New York. Later he took on the name Kirk Douglas as his stage name since he wanted to become a star and did not think that his Russian-Jewish name was star material. His latest film was "Illusion" (1994) where he plays Donal Baines.

His famous son is Michael Douglas who played Andrew Sheperd in "The American President" (1995).
