I was cleaning out my "theater box" and came across something that I thought I would share. I wrote to Julie Andrews and dropped the card off with her manager during one of her book tours.
(I did mention being on Oprah with her during the Sound of Music reunion - didn't think she would remember me).
About two months later, I got a response. Keep in mind, I did send one five years earlier and got a form letter with a pre-signed picture).
This time, I got a unsigned picture (she had already signed my book at the book signing so no loss there) and a personalized letter - she had indeed remembered me and praised my efforts in advocating for improving accessibility to the arts. Not only that, the fan manager also scribbled down a note of her own stating that she had seen me on Oprah and loved my story that I shared on the show.
Imagine that. Fan mail from the fan mail manager? Who would have thunk? :)
