Carolyn Keene
A lot of young girls grew up reading the Nancy Drew series and idolizing the main character. What they might not know, however, is that Carolyn Keene did not really write them. That was simply a pen name! Ghostwriters worked on the bulk of the books. Edward Stratemeyer paid these workers as some backup plan. They wrote the novels in case he was unable to finish them.

Alan Smithee
We will be shocked if you tell us that you don’t know what Twilight Zone is. Alan Smithee was the one who served as the director of the show. In reality, it was just a pseudonym. A team of directors made the episodes, but they used an alias since they preferred not to use their real names.
