[Note from JA: I try to avoid puzzles using the names of "famous" people, because their names often do not stand the test of time. I think there is at least one name in each group below that will prompt the recollection of the names that are less well known today.

Each trio of names below belongs to three famous people whose last names rhyme. 

For example: Doris

                      Tina

                       Mary,

would be        Doris Day

                       Tina Fey

                        Mary Kay
