We already mentioned Lady Gaga in passing at the start of the article. She's an icon of music and fashion, and after the success of her appearances in 'American Horror Story' and 'A Star Is Born' she can add 'actress' to her CV as well without it being a stretch. The world waited a long time for an heir to Madonna to appear; Gaga was well worth the wait.
Like Madonna, her real name is quite exotic to begin with; Stefani Germanotta. The title she chose is much more impressive and catchy, though. Apparently when she was still in the education system, during the early days of Facebook, her jealous classmates created a group called 'Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous'. We suspect that every single one of them went on to delete their accounts.
