I dont know if this topic would really go on this board...but here it is anyway.

How many of you have written a celebrity? If you have, who was it? How long was your letter? Did they respond?

Just wondering.....

I wrote Roseanne Barr a short letter in January 2005, and she didn't respond.

I might write to Will Smith and ask him some questions about The Fresh Prince of Belair.

Last year I wrote Sherwood Schwartz (the creator of Gilligan and The Brady Bunch), and I got a 2 page letter back from him in a little less than three months. He answered all of my questions I had for him. He also sent me 5 autographed pictures. I sent him a thank you letter for the pictures and he even wrote me back again. Sherwood Schwartz is such a great person.

It's actually common for that to happen. I am still waiting on the first letter I ever sent to Carol Burnett (I have sent her three letters). Guess when I sent out the first letter?

June 2003.

I did get my two other letters back, though...The third took a month (January 2004 - February 2004) and the second one took a year (September 2003 - September 2004). So I wouldn't despair... Just be patient.

I wrote Nancy McKeon a few years ago when I was like a die hard fan...I grew out of it...and she sent me an autographed picture.

Im also thinking about writing another celeb, but I dunno if I should....I should send it...its like a 5 page letter...so it should be sent...but I dunno if she would want to read something that long. I dont think I'd blame her! LoL

I wrote to Weird AL asking to autograph my copy of Babalu Music and never heard from him

Emailed Argentina Brunetti,(A Wonderful Life) a 98 year old actress that keeps her own weblog on the internet and have gotten several replies back from her.

Did you send a SASE? I know Rachel sends autographed photos if you send one. I'm not sure if the other two ever signed.

Karen* · 10-16-2005, 02:04 AM

I've written to tons and tons of celebrities since 1998 and none of them have ever written back. That doesn't help much, but just had to get that out!

Courtnee · 10-16-2005, 04:50 PM

nope because moma says celebrites are the devil

Superstar · 10-16-2005, 05:05 PM

I wrote to Melissa Joan Hart about 4 years ago. I still wait for the mailman to come every day to see if Melissa replied

whats a sase?

Gizmo1 · 10-16-2005, 06:25 PM

self addressed stamped (or sealed...i dont remember) envelope

Nighthawk76 · 10-16-2005, 06:58 PM

The only two celebrities I ever wrote to were Jami Gertz (in 1990) and Nicole deBoer (in 1999) and they were both kind enough to send me autograph pictures...which neither of them does anymore. I also have an autographed picture of Kylie Minogue from when I met her in 1988. I am hoping to one day get autograph pictures of Terry Farrell and Jennifer Beals.

If the envelope is sealed beforehand how are they going to put the photo in it?
