1. The audience is likely to remember a unique, sonorous and simple name, so the actors replace their too long, difficult to pronounce or dissonant surnames with more spectacular ones.

For example, Marilyn Monroe instead of Norma Jean Baker or Marina Vlady instead of Maria-Louise Polyakova-Baydarova. 2. A person can choose a "talking" pseudonym that corresponds to his activity.

For example, Fanya Feldman chose the name of the Chekhov heroine from The Cherry Orchard as a pseudonym and became Faina Ranevskaya. 3. In certain historical periods, the reason for taking a fictitious name is the desire to hide their nationality.

So, in the 50s of the twentieth century, the parents of Andrei Menaker achieved a change in the name of his son to Mironov.

Fleeing from the Nazi "new order", the French actress Simone Henrietta Charlotte Kaminker was forced to take the "Ausweis" in the name of Simon Signoret. 4. It happens that the representative of the "star" dynasty takes someone else's name, fearing to be in the shadow of famous relatives.

So did the son of the famous actor, director, theatrical figure Yuri Sergeyevich Zhikharev, who took the pseudonym Sergei Yursky.

For an actor, a pseudonym becomes not just a “working name”, but a second nature, displacing the real name - an autonym that remains known only to a narrow circle of family and old friends.
