Zasu Pitts(1894-1963)

Named "Zasu" because her mother's two sisters, Eliza and Susan, both wanted her named after them. Her mother did not want to disappoint either of them, so she formed the name from the last two letters of Eliza and the first two letters of Susan.

[on being fired by D.W. Griffith from The Greatest Thing in Life (1918) and having all her scenes cut out because she looked too much like star Lillian Gish] Of course, I was flattered. But I was out of a job again.
