Become Famous </p>
<p>Become Famous: Through Entertainment</p>
<p>Fame is a marvelous thing, and though not quite easy to achieve,<br />
definitely quite accessible through many a sphere. The sphere of<br />
politics, for example, accords a whole lot of fame as does acting,<br />
athletics as well as cookery and music among many others. Nevertheless,<br />
how does the field of entertainment make one famous? </p>
<p>For starters, let us consider the enormous number of aspiring actors in<br />
this industry and the very few successful ones. In such a situation, you<br />
must be phenomenal at your art to be famous. This requires you to be<br />
diligent, hard working, properly trained and thoroughly experienced. In<br />
addition, an impressive stage name works wonders as well. </p>
<p>The act of adopting stage names has evolved through the ages. Stage names<br />
themselves are embraced for multiple reasons. While some have employed<br />
stage names for the sake of a adopting a different identity others have<br />
done so because their actual names sounded similar to another famous<br />
personality?s. Still others have done so to enhance their glamour and<br />
make themselves more memorable. An example can be made of Ray Charles,<br />
who was originally called Ray Robinson but had to adopt a pseudonym<br />
because there was already a boxer named ?Sugar? Ray Robinson. Of course<br />
??Sugar? Ray Robinson? also happened to be a stage name.</p>
<p>Many-a-times people have been seen to use names that sound more English<br />
or are anglicized to a great extent. Earlier, in the American Vaudeville<br />
age many people who had migrated from other countries used pseudonyms to<br />
hide their immigrant identities. Thus, the music great Robert Zimmerman<br />
is known to everyone as Bob Dylan and lead vocalist Farrokh Bulsara from<br />
the musical group ?Queen? is popularly known as Freddie Mercury. The<br />
talented Mel Brooks was actually Melvin Kaminsky and even Woody Allen<br />
changed his name from Allen Stewart Konigsberg. Florencia Bisenta de<br />
Casillas Martinez Cardona also changed hers, understandably, to Vicky<br />
Carr. Incidentally, many ballet artists adopted more Russian-sounding<br />
names around the same American Vaudeville period since Russian Ballerinas<br />
were highly esteemed at the time.</p>
<p>Just as Norma Jean, immortalized through her movie-career as well as<br />
Elton John?s first rendition of Candle in the Wind, had adopted the stage<br />
name of Marilyn Monroe, so had Ozzy Osborne, who was actually named<br />
Jonathan Michael Osborne. Monroe?s name carried with it a musical quality<br />
accorded by the rhetorical device of alliteration, the use of similar<br />
first syllables in each word, and was much more appealing. Certain others<br />
like Robert Redford, Billy Baldwin, Alda Alda, Billy Bragg also benefited<br />
from this practice which made them more attractive, as did the cartoon<br />
characters of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. </p>
<p>You have the also the option of adopting a single-word as your stage<br />
name. Twiggy, originally born Leslie Hornby was pioneer in the field of<br />
one-word names, starting this trend as early as the 60s. In the 70s, we<br />
had Cher, originally Cherilyn Sarkisian followed in her footsteps. This<br />
of course, was more popularized later by the illustrious artists Madonna,<br />
Sting and Prince. The trend is still much in vogue and Usher, actually<br />
called Usher Raymond IV, as well as Seal, whose actual name is Sealhenry<br />
Olusegun Olumide Samuel, are glaring examples. For all of these people<br />
the use of a lone word allowed them to disengage from the usual multitude<br />
of people bearing two-word names, a tradition it would be well worth your<br />
while to follow. In contrast to this there exists another tradition as<br />
well though, that of using three-worded names. ?Sugar? Ray Robinson who<br />
is actually Walker Smith Jr. and has been mentioned earlier, and Sara<br />
Jessica Parker make for a prominent examples. James Earl Jones (actually<br />
Todd Jones) and Anna Nicole Smith ( originally Vicky Hogan) also fall in<br />
the same category. </p>
<p>In a departure from the above, people have been seen to do rather<br />
eccentric things to their names. Take for example the adding of the word<br />
?the? to the wrestlers Jesse ?the body? Ventura and Tony the Tiger. Still<br />
others managed to add attractive words to their names to give these more<br />
appealing. Thus Steven Demetri Georgiou became Cat Stevens, Courtney<br />
Michelle Harrison became Courtney Love, Judy Cohen became Juice Newton<br />
and Eleanora Fagan Gough became Billie Holiday and the list continued.<br />
Add to this the emergence of curious names used by hip-hop artists Snoop<br />
Dogg, who is actually Cordazer Calvin Broadus and P. Diddy, born Sean<br />
John Combs. Bo Diddly, Ice-T, born Tracy Marrow and Biggie are such<br />
others.</p>
<p>Given the background of stage names then we are naturally led toward<br />
speculation of what the future holds. Perhaps the ultramodern aspect of<br />
super cool stage names would lead to the techno-friendly futuristic usage<br />
of numbers. Thus we have a 2Pac who obviously likes his name Tupac Shakur<br />
a little less as does Curtis Jackson who calls himself 50Cent. If that<br />
isn?t enough we may always refer to Aaron D. Yates, who is called Tech<br />
N9ne as inspiration for more numerical names. </p>
<p>Since assuming a stage name doesn?t require a legal change your actual<br />
name it is quite a simple and effective transformation and can make all<br />
the difference to a budding artist. You could also take cue from some<br />
celebrities who have legally changed their names later on and do the same<br />
although not all of them have. So go ahead and choose an impressive<br />
pseudonym but make sure it?s something memorable. But remember, it is of<br />
vital importance that you concentrate on your art. Only if you display a<br />
great amount of talent, whether in acting, music or anything else, will a<br />
stage name really help.</p>
