Shared name with fellow actress Peyton List (born 1986)

Peyton List shares the same name with a fellow actress, Peyton List (born 1986).^[11][12] The younger List was interviewed by Access Hollywood , saying she uses Peyton R. List to avoid confusion.^[11] Union SAG-AFTRA's policy avoids actors with the same name; this instance went unnoticed.^[11] They appeared in the same scene — when the older List starred on As the World Turns as Lucy Montgomery.^[11][13] Years later, the younger List cited confusion when they stayed at the same hotel — they received daily call sheets and voicemails for each other.^[11] IndieWire noted the confusion appeared on the website Wikipedia, where both actresses's articles started out with the exact same introduction text verbatim of: "Peyton List is an American actress and model."^[12]
