has anybody on here ever sent fan mail to their favourite star or celebrity and did they write back to you? because i am about to send off a letter and some drawings to michael urie who plays marc st james in ugly betty (the clue, just in case you don't know who on earth i am talking about, is in my avator ;) ). it's the first time i've ever done this. i guess i will have to be patient because it takes while for a response to come through. another factor is that i live in london, and his address is based in the US

I've received several "autographed" photos (actually stamped autographs) from TV stars in the mail (in response to fan letters) since the 1960s; and I
also received a form letter from Valerie Bertinelli in the 1980s ... but never a
personal response from a celebrity. They have secretaries to handle their
fan mail. Most stars are just too busy to answer the volume of mail that they
receive. But it might be worth a shot; maybe you will receive some kind of
reply (but I wouldn't count on a direct reply from a star). Today you need to
include a self-addressed stamped envelope (which wasn't necessary back in
the sixties or eighties).

thanks :) but not only that, because i live in the uk and i am sending mail to the US, i also have to include international reply coupons, which i put inside the envelope and NOT on it. that way, when someone at the post office handles the mail in america, they'd use it to purchase american stamps

I write to celebrities all the time for autographs, but rarely do I receive a handwritten response. It occasionally does happen, though. I'm actually about to send off to Laura Linney and Taylor Swift today. :lol:

i used to collect celebrity autographs a couple of years ago. i wrote to a lot of people, and most of them weren't pre-printed autographs. so that was sweet. good luck! just be patient. :)

what a coincidence, eh:lol:

thanks :) . i guess these things take time, although i have read from some people that they never got a reply from a celeb they wrote to. but anyhow, if it happens then well, that is always a great feeling to get something back from someone you either look up to, admire, or fancy in the public eye

I sent a SASE to David Hyde Pierce directed to the set of "Frasier" and I got an autographed 8x10 photo in the mail a couple of months later. Some celebrities are pretty good about it and others not so good. Sometimes you just have to take your chances and see if you get a positive result.

I'm thinking of send a letter to the President and First Lady, asking for their John Hancock. Maybe even Carrie Underwood and Third Day as well. That would be awesome. The only signed photo I have is of Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney my mamaw bought for me years ago. I lost it. :(

Just to let you know so you don't waste any stamps, Carrie stopped signing through the mail around mid-2006.

She probably got swamped with requests. There's actually not too many singers who do sign through the mail.

i probably know why they don't. altho, i'm sure carrie doesn't care about it and think your spot-on about why she stopped: money. people just care about $$$$.

I've been thinking of sending one to Wayne Rogers to get his autograph. I've sent one to Joyce DeWitt and she sent back two signed pictures and a letter, she's a real sweet lady. :)
