um, it’s not about the hyphen but the screen credit. Since he is credited that way, I’d say yes.

Although maybe that one is pushing it tbh. Wonder if there are similar examples.

Anyway that leads us to the next one which is:
Vangelis
There is kind of a hidden hierarchy here, with a made-up stage name of one word being the best kind, which Miou-Miou is, mostly. Yeah, there is a hyphen but it’s not as if one part is a first name or it’s two last name glued together, it’s the same (nonsense?) word twice.

Not quite, but notable: Terry-Thomas
He did not add the hyphen until 1947, and later explained that it was "not for snob reasons but to tie the two names together. They didn't mean much apart; together they made a trade name":[28] the hyphen was also "to match the gap in his front teeth".[3]
