Ellen Burstyn/Jessica Chastain Stage Door

I am visiting New York the last week of January/first week of February. Ellen Burstyn is one of my favourite actresses of all time. I have an original The Last Picture Show poster I was hoping to have her sign. It is already signed by Cloris Leachman. Also, my favourite "newer" actress is Jessica Chastain. I was hoping to meet her as well and hopefully have a photo taken. I was wondering if anyone has met these two great performers and could share their experience here.

Ellyn was very kind at another stage door where I'd met her. We chatted for almost a half hour are about her exquisite memoir.

I've only met Jessica and she was the kindest person ever. She talked to everybody after the show and by that I mean actual conversation, not the usual "thanks for coming" stuff. She was with her little dog (I think his name is Chaplin) and she was very gracious, asking a bunch of questions about me and my stay in NYC. It helps that the stage door wasn't too crowded as well... there were about 20 people outside and about 5 or 6 of them left after meeting Dan Stevens (probably some Downtown Abbey fans).

i too met Jessica after the show and chatted up a storm and took some pics with us. she seemed very genuine.

Did Ellen Burstyn sign and/or take photos at the stage door after Picnic? I am seeing the show in January.
