Prove to me that they arent the same person...there are too many similarities...i think the disfunctional family background of carpenter required a reinvented persona as anne murray even before richard started spectrum. Annes shyness and hiding behind drums etc...also Karens and Richards mutual unhealthy dependancy on one another from a young age. Just look at anne murrays face and teeth and forget the hair and extra bulk around the jaw and u see karen. Before the computer age this sort of thing was common
place. Some stars could never escape the stardom that was killing them except by faking their deaths. Only after Karen had the opportunity to fully recover and detach herself from richard et al did the latter years career of Anne Murray blossom and flourish.
