Was Mr. Reyburn a child star in film? Perhaps I misunderstood this, but I was watching an episode of Match Game once, and an old timer appeared on the show as a contestant, surprising everyone by saying that Mr. Rayburn was once a child star (say, therefore, back in the 1930s). Gene thanked the man for remembering him. (John G. Lewis (talk) 19:13, 19 December 2019 (UTC))Reply

https://www.houseofnames.com/rayburn-family-crest also mentions his name derived from his stepfather, his Croat ancestry, and his military service in WW2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:4E02:9580:888B:2B58:1914:5BA5 (talk) 17:15, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

== Video giving his 'real' name. This video of Match Game 74, time 14: 58 indicates his real name is Rebussa saying he picked Rayburn from a phone book for radio WNEW New York and he pronounces it at time 15:15.
