Letter: Famous face

Published 26 June 2013

From Freya Smith

In trying to explain my prosopagnosia, or face blindness, to a friend, I pointed out that I couldn’t bring Brad Pitt’s face to mind and that I wouldn’t recognise him in the street. So I was amused to read that Pitt says he is face blind (1 June, p 7).
