the same, but different.
When I was a lad, it was fairly common for me to mix up one person with another. Usually, they looked similar, with similar features. At least to me they looked the same. Most of these were in my escapist TV world although some spilled into real life. I was reminded recently of a prime example with the death of Donald O'Connor. You can imagine my disappointment when I watched the entire movie of Hans Christian Anderson on the channel 11 sunday movie II, and not once did a talking mule appear.

Donald O'Connor

and

Danny Kaye

Maybe I will soon feature some other possibly embarrassing former mix-ups that I am willing to admit.
