I managed to get Alicia Silverstone and Ethan Hawke that way. I also sent both of them a regular request and neither of them signed my photos, but they both signed my program.
I might give this Playbill collecting a go

. Theatre-wise I have two cast members of the Les Miz Anniversary production at the Royal Albert Hall, so I'd like to see if I can get others (Lea Salonga, Judy Kuhn, Alun Armstrong)
Not sure I really like the idea of someone reading out my letter, though... oh well. ;)
What do you mean reading them out? What I said about Elaine Paige's personal assistant reading them to her while she put on her makeup for SUNSET BLVD? Haha it's not like the whole company sees it, only the PA and Elaine Paige, ..and most actors/actresses from the theatre don't even have PAs, especially state-side!
I met Lea Salonga. She is sooooo nice and generous to her fans (on top of being wildly talented). I tried forever to get Judy Kuhn's (couldnt stage door after I saw her in Les Mis - where I got Salonga's), and sent to her agency and a few other places, and only just got it this past October via venue at a concert she did in New York. She's .. probably one of my favourite theatrical actresses/voices ever!
