Gloria Gifford Halloween 2 Success
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:27 am
Sent a letter of request and photo on June 26 to Gloria Gifford at:
Gloria Gifford Conservatory for the Performing Arts
287 S. Robertson Blvd
Ste 124
Beverly Hills, CA 90211
Got a response from Gifford's assistant through Facebook on July 4 insisting that I send a money order for $20 because it wasn't fair that I didn't attend a convention and pay for an autograph like others. Gladly sent the money order with a note requesting that she NOT personalize the autograph since I was paying. I received the photo on July 16...it WAS personalized despite my request. Personally, if I am paying that much for an autograph, knowing personalization takes away from the value, I would hope the celebrity would honor the request. I've received autos from much bigger celebrities - including John Carpenter - and they did not request payment...and I didn't mind that they personalized.
