Ann Dvorak (born Anna McKim; August 2, 1911 – December 10, 1979) was an American stage and film actress.[2][3]

Asked how to pronounce her adopted surname, she told The Literary Digest in 1936: "My fake name is properly pronounced vor'shack. The D remains silent. I have had quite a time with the name, having been called practically everything from Balzac to Bickelsrock."[4]
