At Chatsworth, Spacey starred in the school's senior production of ''The Sound of Music'', playing the part of Captain Georg von Trapp with Mare Winningham as Maria von Trapp. He took "Spacey" (his middle name and his paternal grandmother's maiden name) as his stage name.〔 Several reports have incorrectly suggested that he took his name in tribute to actor Spencer Tracy, combining Tracy's first and last names.〔 He had tried to succeed as a comedian for several years, before attending the Juilliard School in New York City, where he studied drama,〔Stated on ''Inside the Actors Studio'', 2000〕 between 1979 and 1981. During this time period, Spacey performed stand-up comedy in bowling alley talent contests.
