Hi i really want to send out to some famous people but i don't really know who replies. I want to send out to only the well known people. Please tell me who you have got and how long they took. Thank you!

Amanda Seyfriend is known to respond, as is Judi Dench, Dakota and Elle Fanning. Emma Thompson seems to sign. Depends on just how big you want. Some people like Mia Wasikowska you can get via venue. I also recently got Carey Mulligan through her London show, although that has finished now.

Matthew Lewis and Sir Ian McKellen reply pretty fast.

What I have found is that there is no substitute for doing your own research. Even the most "reliable" information may only be temporarily correct.

When several people utilize the same information, the parameters change for how the celebrity responds. Some who have previously responded to my e-mail requests now require self-addressed stamped envelopes.

The "most famous" people are usually too busy to respond personally. You are much more likely to be successful with those who are slightly less popular.

All in all, you may never get more than a 10% return from your requests. Waiting for someone else's feedback will only delay you in your quest, especially if nobody really knows who you think is famous.

Start using Google, Wikipedia, or this site's database to find who you like and take your chances. It will be a better use of your time than waiting for random responses from people who don't know what you really want.

In the past four years, I've gotten close to 1,500 autographs. They're listed on this database (http://www.sportscardforum.com/ttm.php?sp=4&do=listr), but, like I said, my success may not be yours.

Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot seem pretty good but the latter is in France so if you're in the U.S. she may be hard to get. Jay Leno seems pretty good as is Jacqueline Bisset. Depends on who you want. I would suggest doing a search here for the people you're interested in and see what the success rate is.
