"question - i'd love to get some signed headshots from some of my favorite performers...how do you go about doing that? just write them a letter asking for it? seems slightly...i don't know."

I usually tell them how much I enjoy their performances, what they have done in their career, and thank them if I have met them at the stage door before. At the end I usually put a P.S. and ask if they could send me a signed picture if they have time.

Including a SASE big enough for a picture to fit in is usually a good idea too

WOW you guys have HUGE collections of autographs! *jealous* When you send a letter asking them for a picture do you have to include a picture? or will they give you a headshot?

Also. How do you find their address if they are not currently in a show? thanks, much appreciated.

They will give you the headshot.

I guess you could send it to their agent if their not in a show.

I've heard of some actors sending out a production photo rather than a headshot, actually.


A work of art is an invitation to love.

Hey there, this is maybe kinda unrelated but since this is an autograph-related post, well, I'd like to know where I can get the autographadress of Harriet Harris ( Mrs. Meers in MILLIE and Vera and MAME ). I've been searching for months to find an adress but unfortunately didn't. Can someone help?

3 weeks ago? Stuff can usually take up to months to get back in the mail. Be patient, you'll probably get something back eventually.

Ok well just thought I'd share what I have even though its nowhere NEAR what some of you have... :::tries to control jealousy:::

I have autographs from:

Cherry Jones, Brian O'Byrne, and Heather Goldenhersh from the cast of Doubt.

Susan Egan (from a concert she gave at Disney)

Diana Kaarina (at a meet and greet thingy when the tour of Les Miz came to Orlando)

Patti LuPone and Michael Cerveris.

The cast of Doubt and Diana Kaarina were very sweet and gracious. The others I have were given to me from friends, but I'm sure they were lovely as well.


Although it isn't mine, I have a dear friend who has (can you believe this?!!) two original paintings done by Tennessee Williams, which are also signed by him. Not many ppl know he was a painter.
