Adam Pascal


I found a 5x7 photo of Adam from RENT in the back of the binder I keep my autographs in that he returned to me unsigned the first time I wrote him this past winter. I decided since I went through all the trouble months ago to get this printed up I might as well send it off to him while he's still in RENT on Broadway. He returned it signed and inscribed and he spelt my name right this time!!!! :D

Laura Osnes and Max Crumm


Earlier this year I watched Laura and Max on the reality series Grease: Your the One I Want. The television show was an American Idol- like competition where the finalists competed for the lead roles of Sandy and Danny in the Broadway revival of the musical Grease which opened this summer! I sent of a letter to both Laura and Max and shortly after I received this sign Playbill. Laura stuck a L-shaped sticky on the back thanking me for my support. :)

Today brought me not only a signed photo but also a handwritten note from Jason Earles, who plays Jackson on the Disney show Hannah Montana! In the note he answered the questions that I asked him in my request letter. Awesome success! Now if only I can get Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus.... :)

Letters Sent...

I sent out another bunch of autographs this past month. After this I probably won't be able to sent out requests as frequently because in a few weeks I'll be moving back on campus and classes start up again. Anyways, here is who I wrote to most recently:

  • Piper Perabo [Actress; Cheaper by the Dozen, Because I Said So]
  • The Goo Goo Dolls [Band; known for their songs such as "Slide", "Broadway" and "Iris"]
  • Sir Elton John [Singer/Pianist; "Candle in the Wind"]
  • Bryan Adams [Singer; "Summer of '69" "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You"]
  • Ed Alonzo [Actor; played Max on the TV series Saved By the Bell]
  • John Ondrasik [Singer; also know as Five for Fighting, sings the songs "100 Years"and "The Riddle"]
  • Les Paul [American Jazz Guitarist; helped design one of the most famous model of guitars]
  • Jerry Bruckheimer [Director; Remember the Titans, Pirates of the Caribbean]

Kevin R. McNally


I received this autographed photo from Kevin R. McNally in July. I just realized I forgot to post it back then because I was having scanner issues. I was really happy to add his autograph to my growing collection of POTC related signatures. I think he did an awesome job as Mr. Gibbs in all three of the films!

Adam Pascal & Anthony Rapp


Recently Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp returned to once again perform their original roles of Roger and Mark in Broadway's RENT. Although I've never saw the Broadway production I love the movie! I decided this was a great opportunity to write to them again. I sent them a movie ad I got from one of my old magazines and they both signed it. The signatures resemble the ones I previously received but these seem a little bit more messy. Still I do believe they are authentic, they probably just signed it in a rush before or in between shows or something! :)

Clint Kelly and Stacey London


This summer I became addicted to a few TLC shows, one of them being What Not To Wear. I think it would be alot of fun to go on that $5,000 shopping spree with Clint and Stacey! Last month I sent off a letter both of them. This week I got back this signed photo and a typed form letter!

Dane Cook


Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to find an autographed photo of Dane Cook in my mailbox! I wrote him either very late last year or very early this year. I didn't think it would take him this long to respond so I kinda gave up hope on receiving a response. I'm glad I got something back though! I love Dane and the cute inscription he wrote on the photo!

Mark Henn


I recently received an autograph for my Disney autograph collection! Mark Henn is an animator that has worked on many popular Disney movies such as Lilo & Stich, Pocohantas, The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Best, and The Little Mermaid. He sent this nice inscribed 10x8 photo, although he spelled my name wrong. :(
Oh well, no biggie...he just forgot one "e"!

Peter Donald Badalamenti II


Today I got another success for my Pirates of the Caribbean collection. Last week I wrote to the actor who played Penrod in POTC 2 &3. He sent me this inscribed signed photo of Penrod, a signed photo of himself and a typed letter that he intialed at the bottom in silver.

Jo Anne Worley


Last week I recieved my 4x6 photo of the Beauty and the Beast character the Wardrobe, whom Ms. Worley provided the voice for. She even drew a cute little music note too!

Gwen Stefani


I sent Gwen the cover of the October 2005 cover of Allure. It was my favorite magazine cover and I had been saving it to send her via venue to get signed. I also included a photo of her from the same issue of Allure. However, my stuff must have gotten mixed up with someone elses. I got back 2 8x10 printed out on computer photo paper we well as a smaller size of two photos collaged together. I was really looking foward to getting my stuff back signed so I was a bit disappointed. Still a great signature to have though, as I really love Gwen's music!

Just a few days ago I sent off pictures to actress Angela Lansbury who is currently starring in a play called "Deuce" in NYC. What a fast reponse! Today , I received the two 4x6 pictures from Beauty and the Beast that I sent back signed. She provided the voice of Mrs. Potts.

Randy Meisner


Today's mail brought me another success from an Eagles member, bass guitarist and singer Randy Meisner. I sent out a letter to him recently so it didn't take very long at all for a response. So far, this means I have 2 out of the 7 members (past and present). Hopefully I will be able to "Take It to the Limit" and get the signatures of the other 5 members as well! :p

Timothy B. Schmit


I sent an email to Timothy B. Schmit of The Eagles last summer. Recently the manager of his website got back to me and Fed-Exed this autograph to me. It arrived the other day. Another great success! I LOVE the Eagles, they are one of my favorite bands. Now I am going to have to work on getting the rest of the band members! :p

Amanda Bynes


I'm really excited about this success! Not to long ago I wrote to Amanda via a set address for a new movie of her's, which finished up filming called Sydney White. I wasn't really expecting much, because I have sent quite a few requests to movie sets over the years and never got any back. Much to my suprise I received this magazine cover and a magazine photo I sent back signed and inscribed. She also included her own 5x7 that was signed and inscribed as well. A great success to start off the summer with! :)
