WHAT7S IN A NAME?

Suzanne Cupito was a successful child model and actress, with starring roles in the hit movie 'Gypsy' and on TV's 'Seahunt,' but when she reached gangly adolescence, no studio in town wanted her. Little Suzanne was over the hill and in the unemployment line -- at 14.

But a romance novel she was reading seven years later put the actress back on top after she decided to appropriate the heroine's glamorous name. 'When I shed the old name, I shed the person nobody liked,' says the anything but gangly Morgan Brittany, who went on to star in 'Dallas' for four seasons and this fall will play an investigative journalist on the new ABC series 'Glitter,' produced by Aaron Spelling of 'Charlie's Angels.'
