A famous offshoot of the Phartuccio family is actor Jamie Farr. Born Jamiel Pharr-Tucci, of Lebanese mother Fatima Ibn-Pharr and Polish-Italian father Stanislaus (Stanley) Tucci, Jamiel changed his name when he came of age to Jam Pharts, thinking it a clever name for a musician. After apprenticing under his father in the professional sychophant business (“Call Stanley Esteemer for all your groveling needs!”), Jam launched his bid in the music world. Unfortunately, there was little call for zither players. He moved to Hollywood, but auditions for bit parts resulted in uncontrollable laughter from casting directors, and Farr’s agent finally convinced him to change his name yet again to the present form. ---

In one of his typical hare-brained ideas, George Lucas tried to market a beer based on his hit movies. **Star Wars Genuine draft** was a huge failure; people claimed it tasted like R2-D2’s treads, plus the acronym– **SWG** –made consumers think of “sewage.” Lucas lost $58 million on the venture. “I’ll just bring my other wallet, tomorrow,” said the sci-fi burn-out. ---
