Deidre Hall is an American daytime drama actress ("Days of Our Lives"). She's a lovely woman and a good actress, but her fame has caused many in the U.S. to mispronounce the original name by dropping the first "r". Errol Flynn was a handsome film actor during the 1930s, '40s, and '50s ("Robin Hood", "Captain Blood", "Sea Hawk", etc.) who named a daughter Deirdre.
