Robert Redford Success sec?

[T15]

Robert Redford is a very hard to obtain autograph and most of autographs available had been signed by a secretary like following example...

And movie star Robert Redford is an example of modern celebrity who, according to Autograph Times, "does not like to be bothered by autograph seekers and is known to employ both a secretary for mail requests as well as a replicating stamp".

...I was the only one who mailed Redford and four months later I got the 8×10 I sent him back signed. Unfortunately, Autograph’s authenticators said it was a secretarial.

If you send away for autographs from celebrities such as Kevin Costner, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, and John Travolta, among others, you're likely to get one written by their assistants instead. Consider yourself warned.

Fan mail services are used to process and respond to autograph requests. There are notable celebrities that are rumored to have utilized this through the years: Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, John Travolta, Robert DeNiro, and Donald Trump to name a few. Part of me wants to applaud them for at least trying to provide a human signature, but they are fake nonetheless.

And now it's up to you: Give me just one prove that he signs authentically ttm. Only one prove - that's all I'm asking for.

If you and your assistant are so certain that Robert Redford and others are more concerned with making fools of their fans than being as obliging as the rest of us believe them to be-- being human, responding to a kind letter and a polite request by taking a moment, signing an autograph, and putting it into an SASE--I need to ask you both the obvious question: Why are you even here, on this site? I mean, are you guys fond of collecting the signatures of the secretaries of the stars?

As someone who has studied motion pictures for half a century... you think you would know by now that most celebs don't give two craps about their fans!

You can't compare signing half a dozen autographs IP... to signing thousands and thousands of fan letters sent to a given address!

If you find pics and videos of him signing autographs and answering his fan letters sitting at home, then maybe people will take your comments seriously!

Gee, for someone with such strong, and negative, opinions, you're curiously misinformed. "Most celebs don't give two craps about their fans"? At the time of his death, Paul Newman had donated some $250 million to charitable causes. Jerry Lewis has raised over $1 billion for medical research. Danny Thomas raised the funds that built the St. Jude Children's Hospital. These are not the actions of celebs who "don't give two craps about their fans," but the endeavors of modern humanitarians, almost human saints.

Would you be terribly insulted if I gave you a list of reading materials? Probably you would, so let me summarize: Robert Redford has occasionally been a jerk during his career, but no one's ever accused him of being contemptuous, or even uncaring, of his fans. Quite the opposite. In fact, Redford's almost always been noted for being solicitous of his fans; he cultivates them. There have been times in his life when he's made decisions based on the opinions of his fans: He's turned down roles in movies because he's thought his appearance in those movies might alienate or offend his fans. As you've seen with your own eyes in the materials I've posted, he's gone out of his way for his fans, and taken time to sign autographs for them.

Thousands and thousands of requests for autographs you say? Not likely. You need to give this some thought and be more realistic. I doubt he's getting more than, say, a hundred per week...and probably substantially less. And you think he's actually hired a secretary whose job is to duplicate his signature, as a means of expressing some private contempt for the people who collectively purchased Sundance for him? No, I just don't believe it. Not when I consider what I've read about the man...and also what I've heard about the man, from people who know him.

Sorry, but my money's on Redford. It might take him a while to get around to it, but those are his signatures on those photos. He's signing those autographs.

Robert redford is no saint. He left his wife of 28 years for another woman.

I wrote to him around 14 years ago and got a reply with a signature that is the same. If it is secretarial, his secretary has been with him a long time!

That's because she to him she didn't want to make love anymore. So he ditched her.
