Writing to Dick Van Dyke & Mary Tyler Moore - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Indy788 · 08-28-2008, 02:38 PM

I'm considering writing fan letters to both Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore. I'm wondering if anyone here as written to them? Did you receive anything in return, and what did you say in your letter?

I wrote to both of them several years ago when I was in high school and got replies. (Also got signed pictures from Rose Marie, Carl Reiner and Morey Amsterdam before he passed.)

I know DVD is very good about writing back but I think nowadays MTM does her fanmail through a website. Hope this helps.

They actually wrote back rather than just sent a signed picture?? wow

Thanks for the response. I wrote DVD and sent it today. I hope I get some kind of answer.

I think it's easier for young kids to get a sincere response... at least that's been my experience as I've continued writing to people through the years.

I'd still like to write to Ann Guilbert (Millie) but I have yet to find a good contact address.

hmm. Well I'm 20 so hopefully that's young enough.

Did you try one of these addresses for Ann Morgan Guilbert:

I wrote to Mary Tyler Moore and got back an autograph, and I'm 12. Haven't written to Dick Van Dyke. Too nervous.

Wow that's cool! I hope you get a response! Dick Van Dyke sounds like he would be a very nice person. I'd love to meet him someday!

Thank you!! One of those is a new address for me. If I get a response I'll post it. (But that can often take many months.)

You should write him LauraNamesake! Even if you are nervous, you might regret not writing him later.

Thank you! I hope I get a response too. I'd love to meet him someday as well. He seems like one of those celebrities that really appreciates his fans and is just generally nice to everyone.
