I always wondered how such a unique name came to be.

Her father and her appeared together on an episode of "To Tell The Truth".
At the end of the segment, when the real Frank Kurtz was to be revealed, she came out with her Dad's flight jacket and handed it to him.
I remember seeing it years ago on Game Show Network, when they still re-ran the classic game shows.

Interesting, maybe you would like to start a trivia thread?

Here's a starter, Ian Fleming author of James Bond series wrote one childrens story, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - who would have thought?
