It can also come from sloppy or non-existent record keeping.
While true, having a photo you don't recognise is less likely. Unless you, as a few people including yourself do, are collecting a series of autographs say on one show. You might be a huge fan of a particular show, so want to collect the lot, but maybe you're not a fan of a few certain actors. You might not recognise them.

Please let me clarify, we are not suggesting you were cynical, don't worry, we were saying it is cynical of US to assume the worst. If someone cannot recognise a face, how much of a fan could they have been when they wrote? There are numerous reasons why this event could happen, completely innocent ones, many of which have been mentioned (another is perhaps the person is a radio star... or an actor that usually wears prosthetics, so you don't know their face), but human nature is to imagine the worst possible senario.
