Characters Real Names

A Google search will provide you with the information you are seeking and information that you never knew you wanted. That's what happened when I Googled Mr. Clean's first name, an article written by CNN titled: Real Names of 23 Fictional Characters popped up and I was trapped by this useless but fascinating  information.

Here, are a few of my "I didn't know that moments..



Barbara Millicent Roberts


Ken Sean Carson


Patricia Reichardt

Jonas Grumby was the Skipper
 on Gilligan's Island 


The Man in the Yellow Hat
he doesn't have a name in the books,
but when the movie came out we found out
he is Ted (Shackleford) the last name 
was deleted from the movie before it's release.

As the adage goes, you learn something new every day. This new information is probably useless, except if you are in a trivia contest, but it sure was fun to find out.
