"What is your name?"

Sir Stanley Laurel.

*Between takes

"That wasn't always my name, you know."

"Really?" asked Babe Hardy in surprise.

"My birth name was Arthur Stanley Jefferson, named after my dad. I went by Stan Jefferson in my younger days."

"What made you change it to Laurel?"

Stan laughed "Mae did."

"Mae Dahlberg?" Ollie looked shocked.

"Well when you read my name up on the marquee back in the early days, you would notice Stan Jefferson had thirteen letters. That's an unlucky number. One day, Mae was looking in a book and came upon a laurel wreath. She knew i was unhappy with my last name being too long. So she said to me, why not change your name to Laurel, Stan Laurel. Well that suited me just fine. From then on, I was known as Stan Laurel. I didn't have my name legally changed until after Lois (Laurel Hawes) (daughter) was born."

"Well, we have to be thankful for Mae with that."

"Yes, and now she's in Australia. She was suffocating my movie career."

"Now you have Lois Neilson (wife)."

'Yes, and Alyce Ardell' Stan mused silently to himself.

Alyce Ardell was his mistress, his confident lover.

He and Lois Neilson had grown apart since the death of their son Stanley Robert.

Their marriage would soon crumble, with Lois and Mae both asking for alimony.

He would go to Alyce Ardell to escape from his troubles.

Lois Hawes once said that out of all the stepmothers she had, ALyce was the one she really wanted.

Alyce and Stan never married though.

After Lois, he found Virginia Ruth Rogers on a trip to Catalina.

They married and divorced.

Then he made the worst mistake of his life by marrying Vera Ivanova Shuvalova, a certifiably insaine Russian Countess.

Their marriage only lasted a year.

He employed a bodyguard Tonnage Martin to guard Fort Laurel. His fortress to keep Vera out, he built a wall around it.

He remarried Ruthie and their marriage lasted four years.

Then he found the love of his life and savior Ida Kitaeva Raphael.

He heard her singing at a Russian nightclub and fell head over heels for her.

They remained married for the rest of his life.

He still thought fondly of Lois Neilson, but he realized he had found his soulmate in Ida.

In the end, he found his true love.
