Subject: real life people with same names as '80s tv/movie characters
Written By: carolannebloodworth on 05/05/13 at 5:51 pm
Have many of you come across people with the same name as 1980s tv or movie characters?
My name's Carol Anne. Which proved difficult when the movie Poltergeist came out in 1982 - I was the same age as the actress who played Carol Anne - Heather O'Rourke - was at the time and it didnt help that my mother dressed me in the same brand of frilly little girl's nightgown - with the ruffles and satin bows - that they had Carol Anne Freeling wear in the movie.

as a police dispatcher I run across interesting names all the time....
One day my officers came across a man named Fredrick Kruger (he was born a couple decades before Nightmare came out so he probably got teased relentlessly by friends once the movie was released)
Once I came across a name that has always stuck with me... this person's name came up when I was searching for someone else.... I have always felt sorry for this dude... his last name was White... he was born in 1977 (I think near feburay or March) Roots originally aired at the end of January 1977.... anyway his parents named him Kunta Kinte
Kunta Kinte White... can you imagine? :o
