If so, who?

I'm sure a number of people have been, since some celebrities are nice enough to reply even without an SASE. It's just general courtesy to include one, which is why many people do.

I have noticed though, that a lot of no-SASE successes seem to be older, I don't think I've seen a lot of them recently.

I ALWAYS send an SASE with ALL my requests. These Celebs get thousands of letter each week and to take the time to put together a SASE for one person is hard. Save them from doing it and send one. Reply rate will be much better.

Do many celebrities send photos of themselves if you only include a LOR and a SASE with nothing for them to sign. If so, who?

By this I mean, that it sounds like the Eastender cast will send and sign cast cards with a LOR only with the BBC providing a SASE and postage. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have just sent letters to Geoffrey Rush, Michael Emerson, Aaron Eckhart, Jorge Garcia, Kevin R. McNally and received a reply from all of them.

I agree that paying for the return postage is a courtesy, but I don't think the majoity of people would be as mean to not send you something because you didn't provide the envelope.

I always include a SASE, it increases chances of a success.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Are you likely to be succesful however by sending just a LOR and a SASE and sending nothing to sign. Will mant celebrities provide something of themselves that they will send off if this is the case? If so, who?

yes, most will provide a photo, theres too many to list that do. I hardly ever send a pic for them to sign (but always send a SASE)

in 2001, I sent a letter to George Carlin expressing my appreciation of his entire body of work. In return, he sent me back a personalized 8x10. I didn't even ASK for anything back!

When I first started autograph collecting, I didn't really understand that it was common to include a SASE. Most of my early successes were from just a LOR. It only took me a month or so to realize that I should be courteous and send them a SASE.

I usually only include something for them to sign if I want something specific signed or if they haven't done anything in a while and there is a chance that they don't have a stack of photos laying around.
