Robert Preston’s birth name was Robert Preston Meservey. It is spelled wrong in this article. It was shortened to Robert Preston when he signed a contract at Paramount Studios at the age of 19.

Maureen O\’Hara\’s birth name was Maureen FitzSimons and not as you have listed, Fitzgerald.

Thank you, both for pointing out those innacuracies, they have been amended. In the case of Maureen I have actually read her autobiography so I should have known better. However, I think it is the case of compiling lists sometimes.
