At age 10 budding Leonardo DiCaprio was advised by his agent to change his name to the more "American-frindly" Lenny Williams. Needless to say, DiCaprio ignored the advice and in January 1999 even went so far as to file an application to copyright his name.
One of Hollywood's biggest stars, 37-year-old DiCaprio commands a whopping US$20 million a movie. Wonder if his obscure name has anything to do with the very American-friendly price tag?

After playing Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe in this month's My week With MArilyn, actress Michelle Williams mused that "Contradiction is always a neat thing in any human being. And maybe it was the extremes that made her [Marilyn] so irresistible".
Perhaps the same could be said of the 31-year-olds form dawson's Creek star. Having legally emancipated from her parents at the age of 15, a year later Williams went on to win the Robbins Trading Company Worl Cup Championship of Futures Trading by turning $10,000 into $100,000.
