I noticed something recently, so here is an impromptu pop culture quiz!
What do these six men have in common, other than being famous 20th century entertainers? Listed in the order they were born:
W. C. Fields Boris Karloff Bud Abbott Count Basie Smokey Robinson Brad Pitt
I'll post the answer tomorrow if no one gets it, although I suspect that some people here will know off the top of their heads.

Two hours was all it took! Farrar wins a CCF No-Prize!
I'll leave it here in case someone wants to figure it out without clicking on Farrar's spoiler.

Here's the full answer: {Spoiler: Click to show}None of them are known by their original name, and what they have in common is their first name.
Here are the names they were born with:
William C. Dukenfield William H. Pratt William A. Abbott William J. Basie William Robinson Jr. William B. Pitt
Another hidden William is writer O. Henry (William S. Porter).
My middle name is William; that may be why I noticed these.
