Holiday movies you won't want to miss
August: Osage County (opening Dec. 25) is the film adaptation of Tracy Letts' play of the same name, which won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama It features an ensemble cast of boldface names.
Why
it sparkles: The plot centers on the decades-old simmering conflict
between a mother and daughter. The tension (and humor) of the
relationship gives stars Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts plenty of strong material.Behind the scenes: Tracy Letts is also an accomplished actor – he won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play, for the role of George in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (in many theaters now) is based on the 1994 book by former South African president Nelson Mandela.
Why it sparkles: Idris Elba portrays the anti-apartheid activist in a film that concentrates on his early life and imprisonment. For those who know Mandela only as an elder statesman, Elba's performance is a revelation.
Behind the scenes: "I'm 41 years old," Elba said. "He was jailed at 43, so he'd lived a full life by the time he decided to struggle. That's something that a lot of people don't understand about him. "
Saving Mr. Banks (opening Dec.20) chronicles Walt Disney's efforts to persuade P.L. Travers, the creator of Mary Poppins to allow the Disney studio make a filmº adaptation of her books.
Why it sparkles: Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, as Disney and Travers, make fine foils for each other. The film also offers a lot of period detail and a close look at Disney's creative process.
Behind the scenes: Colin Farrell plays Travers' father in flashbacks; the to-be-released soundtrack features him performing Chim ChimCher-ee.
The Wolf of Wall Street (opening Dec. 25) is based on the true story of Jordan Belfort , a high-flying stockbroker who was exposed as a fraud.
Why it sparkles: Leonardo DiCaprio's performance as Belfort is said to be Oscar-worthy; Martin Scorsese directs an impressive cast.
Behind the scenes: If you like the movie, you might love meeting the real Belfort. He's making a handsome living (though he still owes millions to the federal government) as a motivational speaker and consultant.
American Hustle (opening Dec. 18) has a similar theme and also tells the real-life tale of a con man. Based on files from the FBI's ABSCAM sting operation of the late 1970s, the film tells the story of a rogue agent (Bradley Cooper) and his unwilling operatives (Christian Bale and Amy Adams).
Why it sparkles: Seeing today's top actors decked out like the cast of Saturday Night Fever has it charms, but many filmgoers will want to see if Jennifer Lawrence hits another home run in a role written for her by director David O. Russell. Russell also directed Lawrence in her Oscar-winning performance in Silver Linings Playbook.
Behind the scenes: Production was halted during the manhunt following the Boston Marathon bombing; Bradley Cooper went to the Boston Medical Center the following day to see Jeffrey Bauman Jr., who lost both of his legs in the attack.

Celebrities' real names exposed!
Elton John
Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, the singer reportedly chose the name
"Elton John" in homage to Bluesology saxophonist Elton Dean and Long
John Baldry.
Mel Brooks
The producer, writer and actor was born Melvin Kaminsky. But we'll always think of him as the 2,000-Year-Old-Man.
Wolfgang Puck
The legendary chef has a catchy name now, but its a fake! The Austrian restaurateur was born Wolfgang Johannes Topfschnig.
That wouldn't exactly make for a good name of a restaurant.

Tina was Elizabeth Stamatina Fey. Nothing funny about that!
Christie Brinkley
The supermodel and Billy Joel's ex was born Christie Lee Hudson. That still hads a nice all-American girl ring to it.

Spike Lee
The famous director was Known to be Shelton Jackson Lee before he became famous.
Celebrities' real names exposed!
Bruno Mars
Fans may know his as Bruno Mars, but his real name is Peter Gene Hernandez. well far from the vibe.
Ralph Lauren
The designer explained to Oprah Winfrey why he had to change his birth name Ralph Lifschitz.
“My given name has the word sh*t in it,” he said. “When I was a kid,
the other kids would make a lot of fun of me. It was a tough name.
That's why I decided to change it."
"My
cousins who lived in California had changed their last name to Lawrence.
So I just thought, 'I'm going to pick a nice last name' — it wasn't
particularly connected to anything or anyone," he explains.

Chuck Norris
The action star was known as Carlos Ray Norris.
Celebrities' real names exposed!
Natalie Portman
The Oscar winner, who was born in Israel, was born with the surname
'Hershlag.' You might be thinking, "Gee, that sounds nothing like
Portman?" Well, it's not supposed to. She used her grandmother's maiden
name when she landed her first role in "Leon: The Professional" (1994)
to supposedly protect her privacy and that of her family.
It could be that, or that Portman was just easier to pronounce. You decide.
(Reuters)
Stevie Wonder
The musician didn't seem to have a say in his moniker, but we bet
he's glad he is no longer known as Stevland Hardaway Morris. It was
Motown's Berry Gordy who signed Wonder to Motown's Tamla label with the
name Little Stevie Wonder in 1961.
Meg Ryan
As a kid, Margaret Mary Emily Anne Hyra just went by Peggy Hyra. She
eventually decided she liked Meg better, and then switched to her mom's
maiden name Ryan
Celebrities' real names exposed!
Dido
The singer was born Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong and is now
officially Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong.
That's a mouthful!
As a child, her unusual name caused her a lot of grief:
"To be
called one thing and christened another is actually very confusing and
annoying. It's one of the most irritating things that my parents did to
me.... Florian is a German man's name. That's just mean. To give your
child a whole lot of odd names. They were all so embarrassing. ...I
thought it was cruel to call me Dido and then expect me to just deal
with it."
Jodie's name may be a staple in Hollywood these days, but when it was first changed - when she was just a kid - it went through a few spelling changes before it stuck. Alicia Christian Foster was in "Gunsmoke" in 1969 as Jody Foster. Then in 1970s' "Daniel Boone" she was Jodi Foster.
It has been spelled "Jodie" ever since
The British actress has the same name as King Henry VIII's third wife, and that's no coincidence. Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg assumed the royal's name when she began acting.

mispronounced and she was often mistaken called Oprah. The name
eventually stuck.

big.
Pat Benatar

Names are a battlefield
Alison Brie
The "Mad Men" star recently revealed to Esquire that she loves her birth name even though she changed it when she got into the biz.
On her
long list of things she loves: "My real last name," she says. "But the
mispronunciation of it is like nails on a chalkboard. It
starts S-c-h, so everybody pronounces it as if it were Shermerhorn. But
it should be pronounced like it's Skermerhorn."
The comedian's real last name doesn't begin with a 'C' or a 'K.'
Its Szekely. So w.here ever he got the C.K remains an illusion.
The "Zero Dark Thirty" star was born Jessica Howard. She took on Chastain, her mother's maiden name, as her stage name.
Ron Howard is not amused.
