Empty Nest Digest Dec. 25 - Dec. 30

I did not mail out anything this week.

Justin Chambers

"Grey's Anatomy" is one of my favorite tv shows. I have been attempting to get all the casts autos. I wrote Justin Chambers who plays Alex Karev back in September. I had sent him my own pic but he kept that one and sent his own great 8x10 ISP. I don't have anything to compare to so hope it's authentic.

Empty Nest Digest Dec. 18 - Dec. 23

Here is who I mailed out to this week:

1. Jensen Ackles - Supernatural
2. Anna Paquin - Almost Famous
   

Empty Nest Digest Dec. 11 - Dec. 16

I did not mail out anything this week.

Matt Battaglia

I thought Matt did an amazing job playing Drew Boyd the football player on the show "Queer as Folk". Once again I found a possible addy and emailed his agent. They said I had the write addy so off my collage went. He returned it signed as well as including his own 8x10 ISP.

Sara Ramirez

I think Sara does an amazing job playing Callie Torres on "Grey's Anatomy". It's easily one of my favorite shows. I sent her my own picture but she sent this beautiful 8x10 SP.

Kyle Howard

I have been a fan of Kyle's for many years. Seen every movie or tv show he's ever been on. My favorite is "Run of the House" followed by "Related". I've had a few requests out to him over the years with nothing. So much that I won an AW auction of a signed photo of him but I still wanted that elusive TTM auto from him. He inscribed and signed my collage and index card. Great success to finally add to my collection.

James Purefoy

A great friend gave me his addy. I've enjoyed his work but my favorite is definately " A Knight's Tale". That's a great movie!! Anyways I sent off a collage. He returned it inscribed and signed. He also added his own ISP and a typed letter answering mine and signing it as well. He even paid for postage. Great success from such a talented and nice man!

Empty Nest Digest Dec. 4 - Dec. 9

Here is who I mailed out to this week:

1. Alison Pill - Pieces of April
2. Taryn Manning - Crossroads, Crazy/Beautiful
   

Tom Everett Scott

I've been a fan of Tom's for many years. First became a fan when I saw "That Thing You Do". He was amazing in "ER" and most recently "Saved". I wrote Tom to his play in New York. I sent my own picture. He returned it inscribed and signed as well as signing my index card as well.

Makyla Smith

I thought Makyla did an amazing job playing Daphne on "Queer as Folk". I have yet to ever see another success from her. A few months back I emailed a possible agent to see if the addy I had would work. They replied that it would but it may take awhile as she was away at school. Sure enough today brought me a beautiful 8x10 ISP. Great success and addition to my QAF collection.

Zac Efron

I have been a huge fan of Zac's ever since I first saw him on "Summerland". He was great in "High School Musical" and I can't wait for the new "Hairspray" that he's in to come out. I sent this request via the set in Canada. He returned ALL of my pictures inscribing one of them (the one I wanted him to at least inscribe). Great success!!!

I've always thought David Arquette was an amazing actor. Loved him in the "Scream" movies. When a friend of mine got a success from him via a new set I thought I'd try also. I seriously didn't think I'd get anything back though. I sent him my own picture and an index card. He signed my index card and photo. He also sent his own 8x10 ISP and a handwritten letter on the back side of a call sheet for his new show.

A friend tried someone else who was in a show with her via the set addy and they got a success from Simon Rex (which I have gotten via this same addy so we know it's good!). Anyways I sent two pictures to Vanessa and she inscribed and signed both pictures. Great success and addition!

Dane Cook

I think Dane is amazingly funny and can't wait for his new movie to come out. I had sent him my own picture but he sent his own 8x10 SP. I'm thinking he had some presigned. He didn't use my SASE.

Natasha Melnick

Natasha has been in several things I've enjoyed especially "Freaks and Geeks". She was great in that. I found out she was filming a movie so jotted off my request to the set. I got back my collage back inscribed and signed, her own picture from the movie she's filming signed, the front page of the script for the movie signed on one side with a lengthy handwritten letter on the back. Great success and my first signed script page!!

Simon Rex

I've been a fan of his from the very first episode of "What I Like About You". I was sad to see him leave the show but he's been in some great movies especially "The Forsaken". A friend found the set addy for his new show in Australia. I sent off two pictures right away and got them both signed. One has a great added inscription from Simon. Great success!!!

Dylan Neal

When "Dawon's Creek" was on tv I watched it every week. I think Dylan was amazing playing Pacey's older brother Doug. The finale was his best episode. Dylan is filming a show in Canada and sent off a picture. He returned it inscribed and signed. He included his own 8x10 SP.

Kristin Davis

I've been a fan ever since my sister got me hooked on "Sex and the City". Loved her on that show and have enjoyed her movies since then. I've tried a few other addresses this one finally proven successful. Sent her an 8x10. She returned it signed and included her own 8x10 ISP.

Chad Lowe

I've been a fan ever since I saw him on "Life Goes On". He did an amazing job playing a teenager with AIDS. Awhile back I emailed a possible agent to see if their address would work for fanmail. They replied that it would. Made up a collage, printed it and mailed it off. He returned it inscribed. He also jotted a quick note on the index card I included.

Channing Tatum

I really liked him in "She's the Man". I sent him a picture. I also added a request for one of my friends. He sent back my picture only inscribed but not signed. He added his own 8x10 that I am thinking is previously signed as the signature is in silver as he wrote my name down at the bottom in black. He also sent a great 8x10 ISP for my friend. Unusual but great success!

Andy Roddick

I'm a big fan of Andy's and sent him a great 8x10. I did not get it back instead I got a 3x5 SP. Still a nice success.

Empty Nest Digest Oct. 30 - Nov. 4

Dabbs Greer

Ever since I was a little girl I've loved "Little House on the Prairie". I'm attempting to get who I can from the cast. Today brought me Dabbs Greer who played the Reverend. I sent him a collage and he returned it signed. Great success and quick turn around time!

Lochlyn Munro

I love the movie "A Night at the Roxbury". Cracks me up. Lochlyn was great in this movie as well as many others he's been in. I sent him a collage. It came back signed but also terribly creased in half. He did sent his own 8x10 ISP though so it worked out allright.

Sara Paxton

I've been a fan of Sara's ever since "Greetings from Tucson". Since than she's been on many things and is very talented. I've tried a few times with no luck in the past. Sent her a collage I made. She inscribed and signed it. Great addition to my collection.

GREAT GREAT success and fast turnaround!!!

Danny Masterson

I have been a fan of Danny's for many years. I have tried him in the past and got either what was an AP or a SP and my CD insert signed but the two sigs did NOT match so wanted to try again. I had read a few successes lately where the person got their items inscribed. So made up a collage (not that great but had a hard time finding good pics). He returned it inscribed and signed.

My persistance has FINALLY paid off!!! I sent her two pictures (one a collage and one just an individual picture). She returned BOTH of them inscribed and signed. From what I've compared to her other in persons I'm pretty sure I have the real deal which makes me VERY happy!!!

Empty Nest Digest June 26 - July 1

I did not mail anything out this week.

Jon Foster

I became a big fan when I first saw "Life As We Know It". Saw that he was doing a movie and sent off a photo. I almost sent him the photo that Sean Faris had signed but I was afraid I wouldn't get it back and that is the one photo I really wanted Sean to sign. So sent Jon the same picture. He signed it. He also wrote a short handwritten note on the back answering my question. Great and FAST success!

I love her on "Criminal Minds" so sent a letter off. Got a beautiful 8x10 SP. Great and fast turnaround.

Empty Nest Digest June 19-24

I am very happy with this success and glad to finally have it!!!

Harry Dean Stanton

When I saw the first episode of "Big Love" I liked it immediately. I definately like shows out there that are different and test our boundaries. Sent off a letter to my first cast member (it helped to narrow it down as I already had Ginnifer Goodwin's and there were successes for Harry).
