Fran Drescher is Using a Stamp- Page 2

You know, maybe she personally stamps them.

If sharpies make her sick then ink pads and stamps seems like a reasonable substitute.

Especially if she wants to help charity.

"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?"

If I asked for a signed headshot in the mail, then it seems reasonable that there is no guarantee as to how it was signed, etc.

But when you are at the theater, with the person standing there live, and the BC/EFA appeal is offering posters signed by the whole cast, it does seem like what you are being offered is not what you are actually receiving.

Ever think that maybe Fran doesn't have the time or energy after 8 shows a week to sign hundreds of items at a time? So, she had a stamp made of her signature and it makes things a little easier. But she STILL signs for a lot of people on a daily basis.

I've loved Fran since I was a kid. I'm a HUGE fan that geeked out and had to sit down on the sidewalk after meeting her for the first time. FRAN was charming, lovely, generous. She hugged me, chatted with me for a while, posed for a picture, signed my Playbill... And a few months later when I met her again, she not only remembered my face, but my name. And we chatted all over again.

Yes, it's for a charity. But she's also human and not a machine, and maybe she's just a little tired. Move on. Trust me - there are bigger, selfish and far more nasty divas than Fran .

Talk about a non-issue. There are literally hundreds of thousands of things more worth getting upset about.

I was just letting people know in case they thought they actually had something she signed and in truth- they don't. it's the fact that she kept lying over and over again until finally admitting it- She did not have to sign the playbills at all- that way she would not deceive people, or owned up to it right off the bat.

"Talk about a non-issue. There are literally hundreds of thousands of things more worth getting upset about."

In all fairness, you are in a "Fran Drescher is Using A Stamp" thread, so you are getting what was advertised.

Unlike, say, if you bought a signed Cinderella item.

The performance I attended, Fran happily signed for fans and was a total sweetheart. I'd met her backstage actually, as I had a friend in the show. But as we all exited, Fran stopped and signed for people.

Maybe she doesn't sign every night - a lot of people don't. But I've certainly seen her sign.

When I was working at the Marquis during Donnie and Marie, they each spent literally about an hour (or more!) singing things. Every cd, every photo, every book, etc were all signed by them. Granted, they were selling these items themselves for a profit (but not charging more than they would have for an unsigned cd) and not for a charity. I was still in awe seeing them sign and sign and sign without complaining.

Oh good lord.

To be super technical, "autograph" doesn't mean she has to sign her name. An autograph, at it's root, is just a distinguishing marking, distinctive to you.. It doesn't even need to be a signature . I have seen people who's autograph is initials and a smily.. If Fran's is a stamp, it is still TECHNICALLY her autograph.

In all honesty, Id rather a stamp of a prominent celebrity's legible signature than a squiggle.

If you want to talk about street value-compare a signature of Idina's from the past to the current straight line she slashes on Playbills. You could never ever say she signed it.

Idina's signature on the signed If/Then posters/playbills for BC/EFA was very legible and spelled out.

Everyone should be like Alice Ripley and take 3 minutes drawing bubble letters.

Never mind them. People just want something to complain about.LOL

You are the first that I have heard say Fran is signing at the stage door, glad she has started to. anybody else confirm this?

[darreyl102]

Nobody has addressed the whole lying issue.
Also her excuse for not signing is because the smell of sharpies bothers her. Please, use a Pen then.

Why are the posters and Playbills being offered- to encourage people to buy them.

I thought it was to encourage people to donate to charity.

Stop being a bitch, you're not good at it. Leah Michelle was doing eight shows a week and still managed to attend the Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS Flea Market signing table raising funds more than once. No need to drag her into this.

What's to address?

You've already said it like 20 times. If you're that upset contact her rep and complain.

"Nobody has addressed the whole lying issue."

What response are you looking for? Do you want us to take Fran out back and shoot her?

He just wants something to complain about.LOL

Fact is, a rubber stamp signature is a legal signature.
