Julia Duffy
Just because the character in the book and the actress have the same name, it doesn't mean they're the same person unless otherwise noted. There's nothing in any of the Axis of Time books to indicate the fictional Julia Duffy was ever on One Life to Live. And there resides the fact that the book character is in her late 20s/early 30s at the time of the Transition in 2021, whereas the real world actress would be 70-ish at that point in time (definitely not in the condition to be in actual combat like the book character is on several occasions). I realize numerous characters in the trilogy are named from real people, but that should be noted instead of just linking to the real person unless that actual person and the individual in the book are intended to be the same person (such as Harry Windsor, Winston Churchill, John F. Kennedy, etc.). So I think links to "named after" characters such as Julia Duffy, Mike Judge, Karen Halabi, Tom Clancy, and so on should be noted in parenthesis then linked to instead of linking directly to, if that makes sense to you. Structured like this, for example: "Julia Duffy - Feature Writer, The New York Times embedded with the 82nd MEU (named after actress Julia Duffy). Spartan198 (talk) 22:20, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
