> Walter Matthau Born Walter Matuschanskavasky... <

According to most biographies of him, Matthau was born Walter John Matthow. But he sometimes made up nonsensically long last names during interviews as a way to amuse himself.

I remember reading somewhere that he once told an interviewer that his middle name was “Foghorn”.
