That could be the case aswell. To be honest I like the picture you got from him then yours.

It could be i didnt think of that, the picture is not something i could see him sending out to people as its def a pc print out. I am sure if he was going to reply with his own it would be a headshot

Oh well i might try again sending something to his agents address hopefully he signs ok from there :?

1. He didn't like the picture you sent - don't know what one it was, but maybe he didn't like the film the picture was from or the candid portrait

2. It was damaged during delivery.

3. There was nowhere for him to sign.

I'm guessing it was more likely to be number 2, and he probably had little time to get a replacement for you. If it was the picture you sent and you received it back damaged, I would recommend you writing to him again explaining. But as he has chosen that picture for you, it would probably be ungrateful to mention this incident in any future requests.
Thanks for your feed back on this, i am just a bit unhappy about it, but yeah at least i have something back. I just wanted something authentic from him before he finishes his play.


This is the photo i set him: http://www.david-whiteman.fotopic.net/p64001381.html

this is what i got back: http://www.david-whiteman.fotopic.net/p64001380.html

As long as Sir Ian signed it personally, and it is not Auto-penned or secretarial or rubber stamped, I would consider it as a success! He is very sweet! I think that he could have accidentally damaged your photo when he opened your envelope. That's a possibility.
Sometimes, celebrity, for one reason or the other, do send their own photos. For example, I sent my photo end of February 2010 to Estelle Parsons via venue, actually I sent her 8x10 print( b/w) of her picture from internet, not exactly a photo. At the beginning of March 2010, she sent me back her own photo color 8x10 signed. The photo , which Ms. Parsons sent me is the same photo that I got in 2008. Probably , she uses the same photos for autographs.But, that's fine! I loved what she wrote back to me, an she also signed my letter.

Do you have a scan? Maby your picture was somehow damaged and he got you anoter one.
Or you picture might have been difficult to sign. Ian is indeed one of the best signers.
