I'm a lefty too. I don't know about the slant so much as the strokes don't seem to flow.

It's so funny we're analyzing signatures. Haha. Thanks everyone!

just glancing at it without analyzing it, the signature really doesn't look like idina's.

you could always dust the paper for fingerprints

Haha BEKA - funny! Then again, you can sign without ever touching anything!

not true. I have 2 things signed by Idina. One is going on an angle to the right and the other is an angle to the left. They are the exact same signature.

it is possible for her to have been moving her whole hand while writing so where the I starts is not relevant.

None of you is going to be able to PROVE this is or isnt her signature...

That's awesome that she sent that back! It makes me want to send her a picture to sign...

Anyhoo, about the Idina sig, I looked at my signed Playbill, and the 'z' is exactly the same (its the only letter I can make out on mine, she was rushing).

I have a quite a few Idina signatures and on various textures and with her taking her time and talking to me for a bit while signing and others with her rushing at the insane stage door crowd days and NONE of them look like that... sorry but I'm having a hard time believing that is her autograph, but then again I don't see anyone forging... ODD!

The slant does make a big difference.
I work at the Met (museum) as a restorationist. Slants/strokes, they're the definitive characteristics and the first mistake a forger would make.

Seriously, guys. I think it's probably real. Just because...you didn't even ASK for Idina to sign it. Why on Earth would they bother to forge it? I mean, if Idina couldn't sign it for some reason...they just wouldn't have sent it with her signature on it. You wrote to JLT anyway, not Idina.
I also have a couple of signatures from various meetings with Idina and that looks very much like her signature when she takes her time. Most of us have gotten very rushed signatures because they've been at the stage door and what not. Who knows when she signed it, but I think it's hers.
Not that it matters...

Thanks wickedlygreen - ya, I know, it would make no sense for the signature to be forged because you're right, I didn't anyone but JLT to sign it! Just a funny mystery I thought i'd share with the other wicked folks...and to share that JLT was very gracious in sending my pictures back!

^Idina's handwriting. I couldn't imagine how a lefty could've written that because of the slant, but, alas, she did.

yea leftys, like myself, are not all the same as i said above.

A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it, but all she really dreams is to make someone else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer. And that is so beautiful-Anonymous

im lefty too, and i dont see how its impossible for her to have written that. im not claiming to be an expert on her signature though, i dont have anything in front of me to compare it to.

I have a signature from Idina (I'm looking at it now) that looks EXACTLY like that (I would scan it if I had a scanner). I'm almost positive it's her. I'm a lefty and I don't see why she wouldn't be able to sign it that way. It looks like its slanted in the correct direction for a lefty, anyway. And, like someone said, why would it be forged if you didn't even ask for her sig?

I'm going to side with those that say it's not Idina's signature.
As a side hobby I collect autographs and that signature is similar but pretty obviously not Idina's.
Maybe Jennifer just signed it to be nice.
It wouldn't be the first time fan mail has been answered without the actual person signing the photo. Many celebrities assistants sign the stuff.
Hopefully this picture link works on a full Idina signature

I'm a lefty and my signature is upright (no slant), but if the paper is positioned in a certain way or if I'm signing something in a rush like a credit card receipt it can differ.

I guess we'll never know what the real answer is (because I'd certainly never ask either person if 1) she forged or 2) she really signed the picture. But this was an interesting discussion, that's for sure!
