What you could do is go to wikipedia and look up their marital status...
also, a lot of times wikipedia will tell you what their preferred title is...
just a thought

hope it helps.

I've run into this problem myself with female celebs. I usually just take a stab at it, and then mention in the letter that I wasn't sure how they prefer to be addressed. I always use an honorific and last name, though.

Thanks for all the info.

You don't have to.

If you feel comfortable to omit the [i]Mr[/i] when writing to this particular person, do so. If not - put it in.

Hi dmb71vw

Well it depends on 'How' young they are i guess... Say if they are under the age of 18, You could use ''Master'' But then again, Mr would do just fine. {thumb2}

How I have always been doing it is writing Dear Jane Doe at the beggining of the letter. I always put Mr John Doe on all me male letters. Mr brings up another question. I have writing to alot more baseball players now and some are younger than me. Should I still put Mr?

[quote="dmb71vw"]How do people address females in here? It is easy for males cause it is always Mr. But for females it all depends on if they are married or not and most of the time I have no idea if they are married or not.[/quote]

Hi dmb71vw :D

When I write to a celebrity, on my envelope I always address them as [i]Mr John Doe[/i] or [i]Ms Jane Doe[/i] unless I know that a person is married in which I will address my envelope as [i]Mrs Jane Doe[/i]. However, if I feel more comfortable using [i]Ms Jane Doe[/i] as opposed to [i]Mrs[/i] when writing to someone, I will use it.

[i]Ms[/i] is the default form of address for business correspondence with a woman, so if you're unsure of how to address a female, use [i]Ms[/i].

However as I like to keep my letters in a rather informal tone, my letters are always addressed as Dear John or Dear Jane (no Mr or Ms).

It's also ruder. No offense, but Jack Nicholson once said that the thing he hated most about being a celebrity "was being called Jack".[/quote]

I don't call them by their first name when writing to them or addressing to them... {nonono}

Hi there,

I usually address the female celebrities as Ms. (whatever their known surname is). It is harder with female celebrities as like you said you are unsure if they are married or not. I think that addressing them as Ms. (then their known surname) or even just writing Dear Madam would do too.

Hope that helped out :mrgreen:
