I find that my name, Beverley (female) is only fairly common with ladies born around 1940 - 1945, you very rarely find anyone younger or older. So just wondering who was famous or well known (a film actress maybe) around this time that we all got named after. Appreciate any thoughts on this. Thank you - Beverley.

Silent film actress Beverly Bayne (a stage name probably taken from the Beverly Hills suburb of LA), well known in 1910s.Also Beverly Sills, soprano, born 1929, becoming famous mid 40s, I think. - chazda
