Piper Perabo

This month has been successful as well, bringing me an autograph from actress Piper Perabo. She has starred in movies such as Cheaper by the Dozen and Because I Said So. She sent me this signed and inscribed photo thats about 5x7 in size.

Tony Danza

Next up is a BW 5x7 signed and inscribed photo from Tony Danza! When I was little I used to watch his television series Who's the Boss. I also think he did an awesome job as Mel Clark in the Disney movie Angels in the Outfield. More recently I was a fan of his afternoon talk show, The Tony Danza Show, which unfortunately was cancelled sometime within the past couple of years.

Jonathan Jackson

It's been awhile since I last posted and I have ALOT of updates! First of them being from actor Jonathan Jackson. I wrote him sometime late last year and in October I received this 8x10 BW inscribed and signed photo. I think Jonathan is a great actor, I really enjoyed him in the movies The Deep End of the Ocean, Tuck Everlasting and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Jonathan also guest starred in one of my favorite episodes of Boy Meets World! :)

Reba McIntire

I came home for the weekend and another autograph was waiting on my desk for me! This time it was from Country singer and actress Reba McIntire. I really enjoyed watching her on the WB series Reba. It was a good show, too bad it got cancelled! After seeing a success from her I decided to try her via venue at a performace she did earlier this month. On the 22nd I got back this nice signed and inscribed photo.

Geoffrey Rush

SOOOOO excite about this success!!!! I saw some successes from Geoffrey Rush who plays Captain Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean. My mom and I are really big fans of the movie so I printed up two pictures and sent them off to Mr. Rush near the end of August. He been answering alot of fan mail lately and this week I got my two photos back signed (one inscribed to me and the other to my mom). I LOVE how he writes a little bubble with a message from the monkey... too cute! He also wrote "Hi Shelley, thanks for your letter" on the cardboard I had put in the envelope to prevent the photos from bending. Most definitely one of my best successes!

Lance Bass

I came home for the weekend and found two autographs waiting for me. The first one is from Lance Bass of *Nsync. As a teenager I was a HUGE fan of boy bands, and*Nsync was one of my favorites. A few years I got Joey Fatone by writing him when he was in "Little Shop of Horrors" in NYC. I recently heard Lance Bass was playing Corney Collins in Broadway's Hairspray, so I decided to write him. I received the pin-up I sent signed and inscribed and he signed my index card. Only three more members to go and I'll have the whole band!!!

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. :)

Jason Earles

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!
