Fran Drescher is Using a Stamp

LOTS and lots of "stars" do this.

---

Also, lots do not- most just don't sign or have a sec. do it. To do something like this for Broadway Cares is tacky- correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall any other celebs doing this during collection time that I can think of.

Yes, they do- and many don't sign or have someone sign for them (Bette Midler). I was just letting people who had purchased these playbills that they were not actual signatures (fran's, the rest are real) and also I found it funny how according to her twitter replys, that's there isn't the least thing wrong with it and can't understand why a person would be disappointed.

You can look at it that way, BUT in a way, you are buying a product. Why are the posters and Playbills being offered- to encourage people to buy them. If it were all about the donation, then these items would not be necessary or even need to be offered considered the amount of time it takes for the cast to sign all these things. People who are getting something that is falsely advertised should have a right to complain. For example, if you donated and were supposed to receive a signed playbill and what you received was a preprinted playbill (Which is not really signed) then you have the right to complain. I completely understand and respect you're opinion. But People do have a right to complain. I think what got people going was the fact that she kept trying to act like she was signing them, which was a lie.

Big deal. It's just a goddamn signature. What's more important is the charity.

---

Of course. But when they're offering something that's signed, I still think it should be signed.

Yeah, I say tacky too.

---

So what if they do sell it on eBay? Once someone buys something or obtains something, they're free to do what they want with it. I can't tell you how many signed posters/playbills etc. I've bought on eBay over the years since I couldn't get them signed myself. And seriously it's not like there are hundreds of people selling signed broadway stuff on eBay that invade the stage doors every night.

So if she's worried that 5 people will make $20 off her signature, than she has absolutely nothing else in her life to worry about.

I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell that was a stamp.

It's actually pretty easy to tell in person, as a friend of mine got one- Her signature looks way different then everyone else's on the playbill, it doesn't have to consistence or look of something that was actually signed.

---

There is no excuse for it- plain and simple (unless she is disabled in some way). Everyone else does it so she should to- Not only that, but she's lying to entire Broadway audiences that she signed those playbills. It's tacky and Lazy.

---

She cannot have been the first "name" to take the easy route on signing a bunch of stuff. How is this different from a celebrity who just does a squiggly line that could've been done by anyone? Or a celebrity that has a personal assistant do it for them?

How can you absolutely verify that the signature on something is truly the celebrity sitting at a desk writing it out, unless you saw them do it?
