What is Robert Palmers ex-girlfriends full name Mary Frances Ambrose of Mary Catherine Ambrose Ive seen her referred to as both?

Answer 1

Her name is Mary Catherine Ambrose, not Mary Frances Ambrose. According to Ambrose's family she started using the middle name Frances after Robert Palmer's death, for reasons they could not understand. One former Ambrose friend said she intended version two, Mary Frances Ambrose, as her stage name. She was interested in becoming a serious musician and was planning on using the name, then got into the habit of it as if it were her actual name. During the legal proceedings regarding Mary Ambrose v. The Estate of Robert Palmer, she used her given name, Mary Catherine Ambrose, which is the name that appears on her birth certificate, according to her Aunt by marriage, Celia Ambrose. Mary Ambrose's musical career never materialzed in any successful way, but she apparently has decided on representing herself to the world under her chosen stage name, Mary Frances Ambrose. Her nickname, Keke, which she was known by by her childhood friends and her family, arrived from her middle name Catherine. Keke is the Hawaiian translation of the name Catherine, and when Ambrose's family visited Hawaii in the eighties, she insisted that her family and friends start referring to her by that name, according to her brother, Michael Ambrose. She even billed herself with Casting Call a casting agency when she was interested in acting under the name Keke Ambrose in 2003. She never did recieve any acting roles.
