Hey I updated my message so I am not sure if you saw it. Were any of you that girl who had seen it like 10 times and Yazbek took her email?

I thought I'd post what Patti LuPone sent me. I'm still in shock that she wrote back.

Awesome! That is so cool! Yazbek seems like a great guy.

That Patti LuPone pic is spectacular! She looks so gorgeous, why she is not using it as her headshot is beyond me? Very Velma Kelly...

This isn't really an autograph question, but it fits in this thread.

I was thinking of writing some letters to some actors just to tell them how much I loved their performence. I'm not requesting for a reply or anything, I just want them to know that they have a new fan. Do you guys type your letters on a computer or do you handwrite them? If you handwrite them, what kind of stationary do you use? I mean, do you use personalized stationary with you name on it, or just nice paper? I'm curious, that's all. Thanks!

heh. I've used.... blank white paper. And once, a post-it. It didn't even cross my mind to use something prettier, but I didn't want to use looseleaf.

Thanks. I was thinking of using white paper, since all of my stationary is personalized and I think it would be pretty akward for these actors to get a letter from someone they don't know with their name stamped all over it.

I normally just handwrite it on a piece of white printer paper.

I type some of my letters and i write some of my letters, I think it is what ever you feel most comfortable with. I use notes cards or a nice piece of paper, but then again it is what ever you feel comfortable with.

Ok, I'm still confused. I have a 10 x 13 envelope but everyone says to put card board in it to keep it from bending. How do I fit it into an evelope of the same size if I have to put cardboard in it. What do you guys usually do when you send fanmail to get a signed headshot?

[jerseyboyslover]

Posted: 4/18/06 at 4:25pm

You can cut a cereal box to fit your envelope if you need card board. Just fold the other envelope in half and put it in.

[JustChillin8908]

Posted: 4/18/06 at 4:28pm

So fold the cardboard with it or just include it in the envelope?

John Arbo is so tough to get from Sweeney because he thinks that noone wants him signature and just runs away. The Sweeney cast is so modest! :)

"So fold the cardboard with it or just include it in the envelope?"


dont fold the card board, put it the envelope that you are sending, and put a folded envelope in the envelope that the card board is in.
Are you sending a picture for them to autograph or are you asking if they will send you one? If you are sending one, you can make like pocket with cardboard, just tape three sides of the cardboard together and put the picture in the middle and ask the person you are sending the picture to to sned it back in the cardboard. That is what I did with the Jersey Boys.

I don't collect autographs because I feel it is just a signature, which I could put on my Playbill & no one would know the difference. But, once I was at "Movin Out" which was next to "Boy from Oz" & both theaters let out about the same time & I heard Hugh Jackman was coming out so I shifted to his stage door & had him sign my "Movin Out" playbill(turned the page, he never knew) just so I could get closer to see him. Usually, if I get something signed it's to say something to the actor or just get a closer look.

I have also written "Thank you" letters to actors that have given performances that have touched me. I usually type them and then sign it, because my handwriting is so bad. I never give my address, because I don't expect a reply. I take it to the stage door & give it to the manager instead of mailing it.

little bump...

For those of you who have lists super-duper long, how many of those people did you write to and did you send all of them SASE?

I wrote to Barrett Foa and Sutton Foster about 4 months ago and haven't gotten anything back...I don't think I should still keep my hopes up, right?

Also, I forget who it was but the person that said John Tartaglia- Did you get his headshot or just signiture? Did he send it to you? It was when he was still in Avenue Q- right?

Thanks to all!

If I didn't see Three Days of Rain, would it be wrong to write to Julia Roberts and ask for a signed headshot. I've seen many of her movies and truly enjoyed her performance in them. One of my favorites was "Stepmom."

[craig238]

Posted: 4/23/06 at 8:01pm

Not wrong, but she will never sign thru the mail !!

[SweetQintheLights]

Posted: 4/23/06 at 8:07pm

Craig- how do you know that? Are you positive?

I have gotten a lot of new autographs since the two previous times I have posted here (to many to list). I have put them all online here:

As soon as I figure out how to photograph my programs that are too big to be be scanned without the flash messing up the picture, I will post them as well.

I've only met a few Broadway performers, but this is by far my favorite autograph:



(From the Doyle production of Company in Ohio--so, so amazing.)

I have gotten lots of stuff back through mail, and I have lots of stage door signatures!
