Hi! ;)

Today I finally received my first success of this year, and from one of my favourite actors whom I've admired for quite a few years now: Rupert Friend!! {??} I've been a big fan of Rupert's since I first saw him in "Pride & Prejudice" (2005 version with Keira Knightley), as Mr. Wickham. :) I've seen most of his films ever since, and some of my favourites include "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" (a truly fantastic film - a 'must-see'!), "The Last Legion", and of course most recently in "The Young Victoria" as well as "Chéri" (alongside Michelle Pfeiffer). :mrgreen: I've been meaning to write to Rupert for about 2 years now, but it was only last year that I saw feedback coming from his agency's address. I kept delaying to mail my letter (a bad habit of mine!), until last month, when he appeared in the theatre production "The Little Dog Laughed". As I came back from class today, I found this lovely surprise in my mailbox, and immediately knew it must be from Rupert as it was from the UK!!! :D I was even more excited when I saw he signed & personalized my photo with an awesome inscription. {??} Here's the details:

I sent: A letter, photo and SASE.
Date sent: 14 January 2010
Date received: 2 February 2010
Address used:
VIA VENUE ADDRESS - VALID UNTIL 10 APRIL
"The Little Dog Laughed"
Garrick Theatre [uk]

I received my printout photo back signed & personalized from Rupert himself!! :mrgreen: He wrote: "Lizanne, Thankyou! Love, Rx". I just love him, he's a brilliant actor and seems so kind and thankful towards his fans.

Ahh, I am so happy with this success - Rupert is fantastic! Thank you so much Rupert!!

Regards!

Wow great success Liz! I loved The Boy In Stripped Pajamas but have not yet seen Young Victoria. What an amazing success though!
