2. Demi, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy
3. Echo and the BunnyMen
4. Mork from Mork and Mindy
5. This one was tough.
Duran Duran was the original name for the group. Bassist John Taylor
took the name of the villain in Roger Vadim's 1967 film "Barbarella"
starring Jane Fonda. He liked the rhythm of the name and decided it
matched the band's "edgy" sound at the time. Two of the founding
members were considering another name, a three-letter acronym (RAF?)
that wasn't intended to stand for anything. Arcadia was formed after
Duran Duran by band members Simon Lebon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor,
while the other 2 members (John and Andy Taylor) formed Power Station
with Robert Palmer and Tony Thompson. Arcadia had a big single
"Election Day." Duran Duran got back together after the Arcadia and
Power Station Projects, but without Andy and Roger Taylor.
