A NAME . . .

Just because you know someone's birth name, there is no reason to file a star under a name they haven't used for 50 years.

My family are mainly SVENDSENS (father and two brothers) my mother changed her name when she was a teenager. I changed my name as a teenager too.

My mother is buried under a different name.

I want to be buried under the name I chose too.

I found Bette Davis under her birth name and switched it to Bette Davis so her fans and friends could find her!
