Mr Shatner,
They keep their stage name like actors, because they are "known as".
Sometimes they are hyphenated, but usually they stick to their maiden name.
Even more interesting is that in the trotting game so many are related to one another in some natural or in-law capacity.
It's rife, they all seem to marry like actors.
