Glamour.
Random: Take any story and publish it in a novel, give it a clever name and an artistic cover... and it will be read & believed true. Even in fiction, a made up life of a character so loveable and so relatable, will be seen true. Their death in scripture will be cried about, their love in writing will be admired and their fears will be felt.
Anything delivered as Based on a true story, is merely an imbelishment. Take a life that is uneventful and magnifiy its peeks. Take a character with immense flaws and minimize them, have them triumph over troublesome times and they will be seen with admiration.

I've had the same fantasy as well. To get lost in a sea of unknown faces and reset my soul. If it were only as easy as typing it down.
Personally I look towards the flaws, immense or otherwise, in a character, to see that character's value. For it is a flaw that builds character. Wouldn't it be interesting to see what you thought of what the flaws I've created in characters.
Then again, I'm just randomly rambling.
