Chris Noth

When my sister first started raving about this show "Sex and the City" I didn't think it would be that great. She had most of the seasons on DVD and thought I should give them a try anyways. So I did and I loved them!!! I knew how big a fan my sister was of the show I wrote Chris Noth asking for pictures for us. He gladly supplied one to each of us inscribed. He even added extra postage and cardboard. Great success and addition!!

Neve Campbell

Well I knew everyone was writing to Neve and I was unsure if I wanted to try. I figured I'd be the one she did NOT respond to. Well my friend Sila convinced me to go ahead and write her and even offered to help out. She sent out the request from her since it was closer etc. Today came back my photos inscribed to me that Sila mailed to me. Great success and thanx to a great friend!!

Devon Sawa

I have been a fan of Devon's for YEARS!!! When I found out he was doing a movie I tracked the address down and sent off a request with a photo. When a friend of mine got a success via same movie but used a different addy I sent a photo off to that addy as well. So I'm not sure which addy this success is from as I both sent the same things in both requests. He inscribed and signed my photo. Odd thing about it as my SASE had an American stamp on it and next to it was a Canadian stamp so maybe he's filming up there? Great success none the less!

Empty Nest Digest April 17-22

Here's who I mailed out to this week:

1. Kevin Nealon - Weeds
2. Chris Noth - Sex and the City
3. Christa B. Allen

Melissa Joan Hart

I have always been a fan of Melissa Joan Hart's. When a friend of mine got a success from her I sent my letter and collage off right away. I got my collage inscribed and signed but I am not entirely sure of it's authenticity.

Dylan Bruno

I really enjoyed the book "Where the Heart Is" so I was sure I'd love the movie as well and I did. Dylan played Willie Jack in the movie. I sent him a collage I made up. He inscribed and signed it, sent a handwritten note, and included his own "Numbers" promo inscribed and signed. Great success!!!

Empty Nest Digest April 10-15

I did not mail out any this week.

Jordan Hinson

Being around kids and young girls I see my fair share of Disney movies or hear about them. I did see the movie "Go Figure" and thought Jordan did a great job. I saw she was filming a movie in Canada so sent my letter and picture off to her. She returned it signed. She also included her own beautiful 8x10 inscribed and signed. She also sent me a short handwritten note promoting her new movie. Great success from talented and young actress.

Jonathan Crombie

For as long as I can remember I have been a HUGE fan of the "Anne of Green Gables" books and movies. I have tried for Jonathan before with no such luck. I actually had this address around but never tried it. I finally decided to email the agency and see if it was indeed a good addy. They wrote back saying they'd pass it on to him. I sent him a collage and he inscribed and signed it. He even sent his own picture inscribed and signed as well a short handwritten note. Great success and a great addition to my collection.

Empty Nest Digest April 3 - 8

Here is who I mailed out to this week:

1. Sean Marquette - 13 Going on 30
   

Rachel McAdams

I have been a big fan of Rachel McAdams since I saw "The Notebook". I had seen other movies of hers but that is where I became a big fan. I have actually written her twice via the same addy thinking my first one got lost. I sent the same items both times so I'm not sure which one this came from. She inscribed and signed my picture.

Stephanie Niznik

Ever since I saw the first episode of "Everwood" I fell in love with it. I think Stephanie has a great character and is a great addition to the cast. I had had this addy lying around and a friend suggested it to me. Having written to Sarah Drew via the same addy recently I didn't wanna write again so soon. I just mailed out this letter and collage out last week and the postmark from Utah was only 2 days ago which makes it a great turnaround time. She not only signed my picture but included her own 8x10 which is inscribed and signed.

Josh Radnor

I am a big fan of the show "How I Met Your Mother". I really like Josh on the show and sent off my letter and some magazine pictures. He signed all of my pictures and included his own 8x10 photo inscribed and signed. Great success from a nice and talented guy.

Rob Maschio

I love the show "Scrubs" and this was actually a repeated success as Rob has sent me now two signed photos. Since I never put the first one here I'm putting it now as both photos are basically the same.

Empty Nest Digest March 27 - April 1

Here is who I mailed out to this week:

1. Julianne Nicholson - Conviction, Little Black Book
2. Jeremy Sisto - The 60's, U Turn
3. Ian Crocker - US Swimmer
4. Joaquin Phoenix - Walk the Line, The Village
5. Dylan Bruno - Where the Heart Is
6. Stephanie Niznik - Everwood
   

Loretta Devine

I've enjoyed her since "Boston Public". She was really good on that show as the various movies she's been in. She inscribed and signed my collage. She also added her own headshot inscribed and signed.

Apolo Anton Ohno

I have always been a fan of the Olympics. I have never watched a speed skating event till the 2002 Olympics when the news was telling about the phenom at speed skating. So I watched the him compete and he's amazing. He had a great 2006 Olympics so sent my letter and collage off. He returned it signed as well as including his own pic signed.

Judy Greer

One of my favorite movies is "13 Going on 30". I'm trying to get who I can from the cast. When I found out Judy Greer was doing a play in New York I sent my letter off. The same friend who tried to get Cynthia's for me did get me Judy Greer's autograph while in New York. In person's are always enjoyable. Great success and addition to my small but growing cast autos from the movie.

Cynthia Nixon

When my sister first started bragging about "Sex and the City" I didn't think it would be all that. I didn't get all the "hype". I also didnt have HBO to check it out myself. I then thought I'd give them a try. I rented season by season from my libray. I was instantly hooked. I know everyone's favorite was "Carrie" but my favorite is actually Miranda. When I found out she was doing a play in New York I sent off a letter. I actually have a friend who went to New York recently but was not able to get Cynthia's for me as she was very busy. It's all good as I got my picture (bad quality not sure why I mailed it) back. She did inscribe and sign my photo and index card. She even topped it and included a COMPLETE signed Playbill signed by Tyne Daly, John Gallagher Jr., Mary Catherine Garrison, and John Slattery. Great success from a nice and talented actress.

David Gianopoulos

I LOVE the show "Queer as Folk" so trying to get who I can from the show. A friend gave me a successful addy for David Gianopoulos who plays Police Chief Stockwell. He sent me a great 8x10 photo inscribed and signed. He also jotted a quick note on the paper I provided. Great success and addition.

John C. McGinley

I have always loved the show "Scrubs". I have tried a few times in the past at getting John McGinley's autograph with no success. Well one finally came my way. He sent a "Scrubs" promo photo inscribed and signed. Great success!!

Arlen Escarpeta

I absolutely LOVED the show "American Dreams". I think Arlen did a great job playing the role of Sam Walker. I had previous seen a success or two from him so off went my request. Months later I thought I had found a new address and without checking my records off went the request. Turns out I used the same address twice. Today I got one of my requests back. I'm not sure which one though. He sent an 8x10 color photo inscribed and signed with a doodle of him, an index card inscribed and signed (with same head doodle), and he wrote me a short note on the tab paper provided apologizing for delay and telling me what he's been up to. Great success from a talented young actor.

Sean Faris

I've been a huge fan of Sean's ever since I saw the first episode of "Life as We Know It". When that show got cancelled early I saw that he had a new show coming out and I knew I had to see that one as well. When "Reunion" aired I was an instant fan. Not only did it have Sean but it had another of my favorites from another show....Will Estes of "American Dreams". That show got cancelled too so knew I had to find another addy. I found one and an email address. Emailed the agent and they said they'd pass it on. Got both of my pictures back inscribed and signed. Great success!!

Low and behold the evening I mailed it was a new episode of "Lost" and he was on that episode! Very cool. He sent an 8x10 inscribed and signed.

Jessica Simpson

My mom is a HUGE fan of Jessica's and when all my friends were getting successes I thought I'd try to as well. I sent off four pictures (two with post it's with mine and my mom's name so that they could be inscribed). She signed all four (the two were inscribed), the index card and tab paper were also signed. I have scanned all my pictures but am only putting the one inscribed to me here.

Kristin Stewart

I'm also an avid watcher of Lifetime movies (yes I enjoy good chick flicks). When I saw "Speak" on tv I was amazed at this young girl's talent. I tracked down her addy from a friend (who got a success as well) and sent off a collage I made, tab paper, and index card. She returned all of them inscribed and signed. Great success from an up and coming actress.

Balthazar Getty

I have always really enjoyed his work so when a friend of mine reported a success from him I sent off a collage I made. He did inscribe and sign it as well as his own 8x10 "Alias" promo photo. He did not use the best marker to sign them though.

My favorite show is "Lost" and I am trying to get as much of the cast as I can (all of them if I can help it). Sent off a collage I made. Did not recieve my picture back but her own 8x10 "Lost" promo photo signed. It's not an AP but it does not look like she used a Sharpie but more like a non permanent marker.

Erica Durance

I really like the show "Smallville" and I enjoy Erica Durance's character on the show. I sent her two printout pictures to the set of her current movie. She returned both of them inscribed and signed. Great success and addition to my "Smallville" group.

Sandra Oh

I absolutely LOVE "Grey's Anatomy" and I have just about written to everyone in the cast. Sandra Oh is the third one to come back to me. I love her character and she always cracks me up in every episode. I had sent her a collage I printed out but she sent back a better 8x10 b/w headshot photo with ISP. Great success!!

She inscribed and signed both of my pictures, her own 5x7 photo inscribed and signed, as well as an inscribed and signed Playbill. Great success from a talented young lady.

Thea Gill

I'm so excited over this one!! Finally after many attempts I finally have my Thea Gill. I had made her a collage of her and Michelle for her to sign but I think she liked it enough to keep it as it did not come back. She sent me a great 8x10 color headshot inscribed and signed. In her inscription she commented on my collage so I think she liked it enough to keep it. Great success to my QAF collection.

Shawn Pyfrom

Ever since his first episode of "Desperate Housewives" I've always thought Shawn Pyfrom was a talented and good looking young actor. After a friend got a success I tried him out. I sent him a letter and SASE. He sent me a great 8x10 photo inscribed and signed. Great success!!

Here is his signed letter he sent me. I will post the pic when I get it back.

Carter Oosterhouse

I'm a HUGE fan of "Trading Spaces" and I find Carter Oosterhouse easy on the eyes with amazing talent. I sent a letter off to him and got this beautiful 8x10 photo signed.

When a friend of mine got a success I jumped at the chance. I made up a collage and index card and mailed it off. She returned both of them inscribed and signed. Great success and addition to my collection.

Stephanie Beacham

During this past Christmas vacation I saw several episodes of "SeaQuest DSV" and it reminded me why I liked the show in the first place. Since then I have sent out several requests out to who I could find of the cast and Stephanie's was the first to come back. She sent me two pictures, one b/w and one color but both inscribed and signed. Great success.

Gena Rowlands

I absolutely fell in love with the movie "The Notebook". I have been trying to get as many of the cast that I can. I wrote to Gena fairly recently. I sent her my own collage and index card. She inscribed and signed both as well as sending her own 8x10 b/w photo inscribed and signed.

Michelle Rodriguez

Wow I still can't believe I got this one back. I sent Michelle my standard index card, tab paper, and a magazine picture. She inscribed and signed both index card and magazine picture. She handwrote a decent length letter on the tab paper. Great success and addition to my "Lost" collection

Alan Ruck

Ever since the first time I saw "Ferris Bueller" I have been a HUGE fan of Alan Ruck's. After seeing some of my friends get him via his play in New York I thought I would give it a try. I sent the standard index card and a somewhat collage I made up. He signed both of those as well as inscribed and signed his own photo of him as Cameron. Great success and addition.

Jared Padalecki

I am SO excited this one came back to me. I wrote to Jared via the "Supernatural" set in Canada in September. I sent along two magazine pictures and an index card. He signed all my pictures and index card. He also enclosed a "Supernatrual" PP photo of him and Jensen. Great picture of the two of them but I am glad he also signed my photos. I had also sent him a few IRC's to cover shipping but my SASE had American stamps on it and my IRC's were returned. Amazing success!!

Breckin Meyer

I have been a HUGE fan of Breckin's for years!! With TONS of unanswered requests a very good friend of mine sent me a possible address. I gave it a shot anyways and sent off a collage I made up. He returned it signed. He also signed the added paper I included. I am so happy with this success as he's one of my complete favorites.
