Klar wird sie das. (EDIT: Also am liebsten Käpsele genannt, schließlich ist sie eins und wer schmückt sich nicht gern mit Federn *G*)

Und um dies hier ned zur Spam verkommen zu lassen, interessante KB-Info:

QUESTION: Just to follow up, when did Carol become Kelly?

KELLY BISHOP: Oh, God. I'm going to try to make this --I was just telling you last night. I'll try to make this as short as I can.

DANIEL PALLADINO: We still haven't figured it out in five years, so good luck.

KELLY BISHOP: When I was still a chorus girl with a guy who was in a show, just as a backstage joke, we used to pass each other during the course of the show, and we would make up different characters. I had three or four, and one of them was Kelly Westbrook. And she was a bitch. She was the one in "Heartbreak Kid" that Sybill Shepherd played, except it was before the movie. And her name is Kelly Westbrook, and she was a nasty, spoiled, rich girl. And so that was that.

Now this same group of people I'm hanging out with started calling me "Kelly." As people were introduced to me the through the next couple of years, they called me Kelly. Now we're doing "A Chorus Line," and Michael Bennett started calling me Kelly as a nickname, which means the world is going to call me Kelly because he was God. But I was still Carol Bishop because I had been in Equity and AFTRA for years. I mean, back from 1962 when I started in the business, I was Carol. And then I joined SAG while I was still in a chorus girl to do a deodorant commercial as one of Broadway's famous dancers wears this deodorant. And that's when I joined SAG, and I discovered there is a Carol Bishop, which I had no idea. I don't know who she is. And they gave me Carol Bishop Miller, which was my married name at the time, and I didn't like it. And I just let it go because I was a dancer and who cares.

When "Chorus Line" looked like it was going to be huge, which it was, that's when I discovered I didn't -- I couldn't be -- I didn't want to be Carol Bishop Miller in movies and Carol Bishop on stage, and so I finally decided to flip it and go with Kelly and did the whole thing and did it the night of the Tony Awards, which was funny because they asked me, "Do you want to be Carol or Kelly?" And I thought, "Gosh, what a good way to tell the world that you changed your name, on national television, to Kelly." Which then, of course, upset a lot of my friends who are watching the telecast because they said, "Oh, God. She won a Tony, and they got her name wrong." But they hadn't. So that's the shortest version of it.
