Painted as Susan King. Berman was born and once known as Susan King. She discovered her original birth name, birth date, and the names of her biological parents several years ago. This experience led her to reclaim her long-lost name. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Berman) She discovered the details about her birth date, biological parents, and real name (which she then reclaimed) only 10 years prior to her death.
