A genuine misunderstanding

I realized sometime recently that when I was a very young boy in the early 1960s, watching Adventures of Superman on WPIX (“channel 11”), I thought that the bad guys and crooks were real bad guys and crooks playing versions of themselves. It didn’t occur to me that they were actors.

See also Elaine’s thought about TV housewives.

[Adventures of Superman ran from 1952 to 1958. I was watching reruns.]
