I sent out a bunch of letters back in September to various celebrities, but, have received rare replies; I think of the ones I just sent letters to, only Alex Trebek and Robin Williams have replied. I'm starting to lose hope on those, quite frankly. I sent requests to people like Stacy Haiduk, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Kate Mulgrew, and Jim Carrey among others, but, have gotten nothing back yet.
So, in about mid-October, I decided to up the ante. I'm a big fan of the old television show "seaQuest DSV", and I wanted to get the cast's autographs, but, perferably on photographs of their "seaQuest" characters. So, I printed off quite a few pictures on high quality photo paper, included a self-addressed envelope and sent the photos to the following people: Roy Scheider, Don Franklin, Rosalind Allen, Kent McCord, Michael Ironside, John D'Aquino, Michael DeLuise, and Steven Speilberg. That was mid-October, and still, have not received any replies.
Now, I also live in Canada, so, I included one of those postage receipt deals where the receipient can cash the thing in and get an appropriate stamp, but, I don't know if I included as many as I should have. As I recall, the postal office clerk said I could only include one, or something like that, and it would be sufficient, but, I'm wondering if that's actually the case? Should I have included more? (I'm also a bit curious because the photo I sent to Michael Ironside was addressed to Toronto, and I live in London, Ontario, so, I would think I would have gotten something back from there, being so close)
Or, am I just jumping the gun, here? I mean, I've seen people getting replies from some of these people in a couple of weeks, and it's been a couple of months for me. Can anyone offer some feedback, tips, assistance, anything?
Thanks.
