For me, the longest I've waited was Placido Domingo (an opera tenor) and that wait was 4 years. I know I've sent a ton of requests to him, about 7, because I never heard back.
First mailed: 2004
Received in 2008
I did mail to him in the 1980's and 1990's, but I couldn't tell you when with that one.. so I'm going by my current lists of sent/received autographs.
Before 2000, all my records were on paper. Around 2000 I started typing my records.

Hi!
My longest wait was approximately
1 year (not too bad, seeing as Selise waited 4 years!). It was from
Zac Efron, I wrote to him on
1 October 2007 and got a reply from him on
19 August 2008.
Another one which also took a while was from
Mark Wahlberg, I sent to him on
7 January 2008 and he replied on
4 September 2008. {thumb2} I don't mind waiting, as long as I get a reply eventually, I'm very happy!
Good luck!

The longest time to get a reply was about 7 years from Phillies pitcher Don Carman. He then signed the three requests that I sent him during that time.

Hi there,
I'm new to this board, but not to this hobby.
I was almost inactive since 2003 and sent out just a couple of requests even though I always wanted to, but just didn't have the time to write something or just was to lazy 
, but now after the first few requests (nothing back, yet) the old fascination for this hobby is back and it's really fun :razz: , so fanmail.biz seems to be the right place to be and to get in touch with other collectors.
But back to the question the longest wait...
I always keep record and never delete my old records as I had some response times longer than 1 year (Jon Voight, Mira Sorvino...) but my longest took almost 2 years :o to get back to me (but 4 or 7 
years as I read in other posts...can't beat that):
Gene Hackman - sent: 05. July 1997 received: 25. June 1999 (1 year, 11 months, 20 days to be exact)
