Deceased celebrities whose autographs you wished you had... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It happens to the best of all autograph collectors, whether he/she was gone before or during our time. Here is my list...

Meredith MacRae -- One of THE most beautiful ladies God created. I wrote to her twice; the first time I got a RTS because the address was no longer valid. The second time came in 1999, just before it was publicly announced that she had surgery for a brain tumor. Ever since she left us in 2000, I have shed a tear inside for her every day

Del Shannon -- Not to long after his death, I heard "Keep Searchin'" for the first time and was knocked out! I kept asking myself after that: "Why did he do what he did?"

Gwen Verdon -- Didn't know much about her until I saw her on repeats of "The Ed Sullivan Show". On one show she did a song from "Sweet Charity" and on another she, along with two other female dancers, danced to a mod-styled tune. What a dancer and babe she was!

Others:
John Ritter
Dusty Springfield
Ritchie Valens
Buddy Holly
James Dean
Selena
Roberto Clemente

The Bewitched cast - Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York, Agnes Moorehead, David White, Paul Lynde, etc., etc. Jack Soo, Ron Carey and James Gregory from Barney Miller - I would've loved their autographs too.

I agree with everyone else's choices above, too. Actually, I did write John Ritter c/o 8 Simple Rules in early 2003 and got an autographed picture in May 2003 - then a few months later he was gone.

What a good question - I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Wow, Monika, lucky you! John Ritter is on my list of people whose autograph I wish I'd gotten. And Brandon Lee. Can you post the pic of John's autograph?

And while I know it's not as good as getting the signature in person, I DO have a couple of autographed checks from Elizabeth Montgomery which I just might be willing to part with. PM me if you're interested--maybe we can work something out!

LUCILLE BALL
PRINCESS DIANA (doubt if that would have been possible)
JOHN LENNON

Frischman_Fan · 05-22-2007, 11:18 PM

-Vivian Vance(Can't you tell

)
-Lucille Ball
-Desi Arnaz
-Jackie Gleason
-Audrey Meadows
-Art Carney
-Judy Garland
-Margaret Hamilton(Wicked Witch of the West)
-John Ritter
-Elizabeth Hartman

Even though I can get their autographs via Ebay I would've loved to have gotten their autographs in person. It would've been great to meet them. Especially Vivian.

I wrote John Ritter twice and twice he sent out. The first time an index card, then the next time he sent out a pre-print but it definitely was still really cool!

I tried Don Knotts several times but I never got anywhere. Same with Tom Poston.

As for another, I would've liked Michael Landon's autograph but I was too young to truly appreciate what a great actor he really was.

Very good topic!
