How do I get rid of somebody like that without offending them?
I’ve been invited to be a friend of Marilyn Monroe.
On other sites you can block people.
PS It’s my real name.
I am not the actress. I’m the author.
I bet John Brown has trouble, too.
Equity or one of the acting associations bans you from having the name of an existing actor.
It should be illegal to have an existing name.
Duplicate names of roads and cities should also be obliged to add a number after themselves to prevent confusion just like names of websites.

I’m glad I don’t Facebook. On MySpace I *do* know that the Roger Corman who is there is the *real* Roger Corman. Same for the writers and musicians I have as Friends. Maybe you should switch. Better music there, anyway! Funny post!

Yes, it’s rather disappointing to see so many poseurs…. I don’t understand why so many feel the need to be someone else online, or otherwise.

What a great blog, Mitzi! It’s so true that there are many,many people on FB pretending to be someone they are not. Some are quite obvious (for instance- I know that Richard Gere was not born in the 70’s) and some not so much, that you start to believe it’s the real person until, like you and DG, your bubble is burst and you realize you are exchanging deep conversations with an electrician in Kent. However, I do know that there are many people as well that are who they say they are. It’s just a matter of finding out the truth. I ersonally don’t realy understand why someone would take so much time and effort to pretned to be someone else, but maybe it’s the fantasy of the adoration of the fans. I do know that when I first joined FB, I wasn’t even aware that any “famous” people had accounts. but then I met Johnny Cash….;)

It’s great news that no-one and nothing on FaceBook is believable, because then I’m actually a hunky, tanned six-packed successful author merely masquerading as a grubby-minded late middle-aged shaven-headed pale bloke struggling to string two erotic sentences together. But then what stares balefully back from the mirror is the same face as my FB profile pic, so I must have set something up wrong. Ho hum

How funny – glad you can keep your sense of humor and realize how naive or just plain fooled. If his real name is Tom, I’d call the book “Tom Foolery goes to Washington” – lol.
