Why would some people support Anna Anderson's claim to be Anastasia?

Question

Why would people support Anna Anderson's claim to be Anastasia? What do you think Anna Anderson or her supporters hoped to gain? How can you account for some of the physicial similarities that existed between Anastasia & Anna Anderson?

Give your opinions? :)

Answer 1

Well, she's obviously not Anastasia considering the fact that just recently two bodies were found near the burial sites of Anastasia's family.  One body was identified as the missing Anastasia and her brother.  Mystery solved, no one survived, and Anna Anderson is an attention seeker.

Answer 2

Probably they never heard of DNA testing.
