Clearly, there truth to what you have written for many adults, Mary, but I don't think it is the whole truth. Many of us go through the process of development and do not remain at the cognitive level you have too generally suggested for 'people'.

Fern, that’s true. However, Ronald Reagan used his movie persona to convince a lot people to vote for him even though Nancy was the “power behind the throne”. Look at Louisiana ‘s senator Kennedy with his folksy persona that masks his true Oxford college roots.
Mary, innumerable such examples can be made, which, nevertheless, will not satisfy the generalization made that people mentally connect the fictional character someone may play with who she or he actually is -- many do and many do not.

Fern, you’re right. I edited the original post to reflect your valid critique.
Thank you, Mary. It was good to spend part of the morning together.
It’s always good to share thoughts with you. Enjoy the rest of your day.
