Javier Bardem is simple and relatively easy to pronounce
Marion Cotilliard is close enough.
Pola Negri was fine even in the 1920s.
Viveca Lindfors, no problem.

Anna-Ally-Eeesey Van Der P--- I'm sorry what was I saying? I got lost somewhere in the syllables and hidden vowels. I forgot if I liked her or not.
I'd be amazed if an agent or manager hasn't strongly urged her to change it.
EDIT: And if you don't think it makes a difference, you don't know much about show business history.
