Elisa Donovan

I first became a fan of Elisa Donovan's when I saw the movie "Clueless". Two years ago I sent out this request. I got my picture back inscribed and signed(love the inscription). She also included her own great 8x10 inscribed and signed. Very amazing success and it truly shows never give up as some may take awhile to make their way back to you.



Suzanne Cryer

Several years ago I really enjoyed the show "Two Guys and a Girl". I watched it all the time. I had forgotten about it till a friend reported a success from Suzanne Cryer who played Ashley. I printed up some pics and sent them off. She inscribed and signed my photo and included her own 8x10 photo signed. Also with my successes I include a piece of paper in case they wanna jot a quick note. Suzanne used the front and back of my paper answering my questions and commenting on what else I wrote in my letter. Very nice success!!


Gail O'Grady

For the last few years I was a big fan of the show "American Dreams". I have written to most of the cast with no luck. This past year I sent out two requests to Gail O'Grady. On the same day(mailed them months apart) I got them BOTH back inscribed and signed. She signed my index card, the picture I sent her, and included two "Hot Properties" promo pics inscribed and signed. It matches what I've seen of in person successes so I am very pleased with these successes.

Brad Garrett

When I was living in Germany we only got limited shows to choose from to watch(in English of course). It was then and there that I fell in love with the show "Everybody Loves Raymond". It was a show that could always make me laugh. I wrote to Brad via his play in New York. He inscribed and signed a Playbill for me.

Isiah Washington pt 2

Well just this past weekend I recieved a success from Isiah Washington (see below). Well today brought me another inscribed and signed picture of Isiah Washington. This time it was in my own SASE.

Matt Day

I have been a big fan of the movie "Muriel's Wedding". It's easily one of my favorite movies. If anyone has seen any of my previous posts they would know I'm trying to obtain as much of the cast as I can in hopes of someday getting everyone's. Today brought me Matt Day. He played Brice in the movie. I sent him my own picture(not the best), index card and tablet paper. He inscribed and signed all three items.

Isiah Washington

Last year when ABC was promoting a new show called "Grey's Anatomy" I have to admit I was hesitant at first. But my curiousity got the better of me and and now it's my favorite(right behind Lost of course). I had wanted to write the cast but had a feeling they would not answer fanmail as the Desperate Housewives don't. I have some friends who mailed off letters and were getting successes from Isiah so I thought I'd give it a shot. I sent him a picture, index card, tablet paper and a SASE. He signed my picture, index card, jotted down quick handwritten note, AND included his own 8x10 photo inscribed and signed. It did not come back in my SASE but I have compared the handwriting on the outside of the envelope it came back to me in and I'm pretty sure Isiah addressed the return envelope as well. Pretty cool success with hopes there will be more "Grey's Anatomy" successes as well.

Hal Sparks

Ever since I saw my very first episode of "Queer as Folk" Michael became an instant favorite. I have tried writing Hal in the past with no luck what so ever. I found another addy and thought I'd take a stab in the dark on this one. Printed off a picture and off my request went. Today I recieved my picture back inscribed and signed in silver sharpie. This one goes to the top of my favorites as it's been on my Top Ten to recieve.

Tara Strong

My son LOVES the show "Teen Titans". I've been trying to get the main five voice characters pictures signed. Today brought me Tara Strong who is the voice of Raven. She inscribed and signed the picture I sent her. She also included her own 8x10 color photo of ALL of her character voices. She inscribed and signed that one as well. Great success!!! Now all I need is Greg Cipes to reply.

Amanda Righetti

Last year when two of my favorite shows ("American Dreams" and "Life As We Know It") got cancelled I was not to happy about that. Until I learned that both Will Estes and Sean Faris were in a new show TOGETHER I was pleased. I just knew I had to watch "Reunion". Since the series premiere I fell in love with the show. Everyone is amazingly talented. I have written to 5 of the cast members(6th one going out today) and Amanda Righetti was the first to reply. I had sent her a magazine promo pic for "Reunion" along with my letter. Today she inscribed and signed my pic. She also handwrote a letter front and back, back to me on the paper I provided answering my questions and commenting on my letter. Great success from a very talented actress.

Rob Steele

Once again if you have been paying close attention you would know that I am trying to get what I can of the cast from the movie "Muriel's Wedding". From the first time I saw that movie I loved it. Today brought me Rob Steele who plays Leo Higgins. He sent me a great 8x10 b/w photo inscribed and signed. He also handwrote a note on the paper I provided answering my questions and commenting on other things I wrote in my letter.

Thomas Lennon

I have always enjoyed Thomas Lennon's movies. He has played along side many big wigs. I dont remember when or where I mailed off this request as I can't find it in my records. I received an 8x10 cast photo of "Reno 911" signed by the whole cast. It does not look to be an autopen or a preprint so it's a good success in one.

Judy Reyes

I am a huge fan of the show "Scrubs". I have tried writing to the cast via the set(or may have been what I thought was a set addy) and got nothing. A friend of mine wrote Judy Reyes and got a great success so off my letter went to her. Today in my mail I got a HUGE SASE but it was not my handwriting so I was really puzzled as to who it was from. Inside was a beautiful color 8x10 photo of Judy as Carla. The picture was inscribed and signed. Great success and addition to my Zach Braff.

Brittany Snow

From the first ever episode of "American Dreams" I was a big Brittany Snow fan. I've enjoyed her movies and tv show. In many attempts to obtain an autographed picture I have sent requests off to many and various addresses. With no luck nothing ever came back. A good friend of mine emailed me with a possible address in which she sent her request to. So off went my request. I did not have any pictures of her at the time so I did not send one. Got back a great/unusual success from her. One one side is a not so good printed out pic of her signed. On the other side of the paper is a printed flyer for the movie in which I sent to the set of signed by her. Both signatures look somewhat a like and I have not had the chance to compare. If anyone out there has an in person I'd love to compare. I just hope that one of them is authentic.

Bonnie Bartlett

Growing up as a young girl my favorite show I just HAD to watch was always "Little House on the Prairie". It was the one show I could not live without. Now that I am older and can afford such a hobby I am trying to get as many of the main cast from over the years as I can. Today brought me Bonnie Bartlett whom I knew as Grace Edwards. She graciously sent me a beautiful 8x10 b/w headshot inscribed and signed. She also inscribed and signed the index card I included.
