This story has been told for many years about British 50s actress and former “blonde bombshell” Diana Dors, whose birth name was indeed Fluck (a totally legit name btw).
Allegedly, after she became famous, she made an appearance to open the village fête in the town she was from and the (?) mayor introduced her saying something like
“It’s my great pleasure to introduce international star of stage and screen Diana Dors, or, since she’s a local girl, some of you might remember her as Diana Clunt”
