2. Michael Keaton's real name is Michael Douglas. He picked "Keaton" as a stage name because obviously there was ALREADY an actor named Michael Douglas. . . and he liked the way Diane Keaton's name sounded.

But Keaton was a stage name for Diane Keaton too. Her real name is Diane Hall. Keaton was her mother's maiden name. Also, her nickname is 'Annie' . . . which is where Woody Allen got the title for"Annie Hall".

3. The famous artist Caravaggio is actually FROM the city of Caravaggio, Italy. He chose to use that as his name because his first name was . . . Michelangelo. And clearly, another artist already had that one claimed.
