A Few Questions...

Unread post by cjay1227 »

1. Are celebrities more likely to answer if you live near the address where the letter was sent?

2. Do celebrities sometimes reply only to the letters that they liked more or they thought that they weren't stalkerish?

1. No.
2. Some might be, and if I was a celebrity, and I had a stalkerish letter arrive to me, I wouldn't answer it.

If you have any help, feel free to PM me

Hello cjay1227! ;-)
1. Are celebrities more likely to answer if you live near the address where the letter was sent?
No, they reply to all their fans (depending if you send a SASE! {thumb2} ). They wouldn't treat fans unfairly just because they live overseas or something like that! {up}
2. Do celebrities sometimes reply only to the letters that they liked more or they thought that they weren't stalkerish?
No, they would reply to everyone who sends them a fan letter. {thumb2} Again, they don't treat fans unequally. ;-)

Hope this helps! :D If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

Good luck collecting,

I would love for this to be true , Lizanne , but some are just as likely to tear your items up from afar as they are likely to spit on you , shout at you , ignore you or run away from you if you ask them in person . Added to that , even those that do autograph your stuff or send you a " signed " photo , very rarely write letters nowadays . Of the 30/40/50 replies I have had in the last year , I have got 3 long letters , and a couple of notes - the rest you have to be grateful if they sign your stuff and/or send it back . {up} {down}

1) No. It does not make a difference by where you live. Mail is mail.

2) Depends..I'm not sure. I guess some do. :neutral:

Er, I'm not talking about celebrities who refuse letters... :? This topic is about celebrities, who usually reply to fan mail, for example Wentworth Miller or Dakota Fanning - not Brad Pitt or Britney Spears! :lol: - and they wouldn't refuse letters or reply to someone in the US but not from Europe! {thumb2} Obviously Brad would'nt reply to his fan mail and I've seen a letter from Jake Gyllenhaal's agent saying he doesn't sign. {down} But I have seen celebrities replying to rather strange letters, as there's a member here who sends weird letters! :lol: I've never had a letter refused, so far I've received almost all of my requests back signed and personalised, all great successes as I'm a fan, not an autograph collector! :mrgreen:

I only write to people who I am a fan of / like the films of / appreciate the talent of / am interested in - no matter if that is a wide range or small range . I like the stars of old ages , maybe not in the same way as I like the actors from Doctor Who , or other TV series / or certain films , but not in a lesser way - I see these older actors as STARS - they have been popular for far longer than David Tennant say . So , it is not because I am only after the autograph that I do not get letters - but because I am a fan , I am happy not to get a letter because I know thay are busy .
