Just wanted to pose this question to everyone out there and hear the response I hopefully get, who was your very first in person autograph success?

Best of my knowledge, my very first ips came from none other that legendary visual effects artists Ray Harryhausen http://www.rayharryhausen.com/index.php. Ray was one of the special guest speakers at the 1992 Philcon at the Adam's Mark Hotel in Philadelphia. I obtained his autograph after watching a lecture he gave during the wkend of the convention which ran from Nov 13th - 15th, 1992. Additionally, Ray was the 1st celebrity autograph I ever got and thus gave birth to my autograph collecting.

Paleo: very cool on the Harryhausen!!

Mine was Jonathan Frid, Barnabas from Dark Shadows. He brought his one-man show to my town when I was in high school (probably around '91) and he did a short signing after the show.

When i was 3 i met Alice Cooper at the airport- i remember it too, perfectly.

Since then I've seen him 3x in concert and I'm a huge fan- but haven't met him since.
