Producer/Director
8x10 print signed in black sharpie. Amazing mail success from Mr. Burton! Unfortunately this WAS an 8.5x12 print, but was water damaged in the mail. The top eighth or so was stuck to the envelope, so I had to trim it down as best as I could. Still, instantly a favorite in my collection!
Tom Baker
Actor
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love Tom Baker. I grew up watching him on Doctor Who and, while I love Matt Smith in the role, there will never be another Doctor like Doctor #4. I previously bought two Tom Baker autographs (here and here), but decided to write to Mr. Baker anyway. I sent him the picture with the daleks and the cover of my copy of City of Death. Imagine my surprise when I opened up the envelope and saw the third photo in there!
Actor
8x10 of Adam West signed in blue sharpie. I grew up watching reruns of the 1960s Batman at my grandmother's house. The tear on the right is thanks to my mother, who thought that it was junk mail when it came in and tried to rip it in half. I'm planning to find another photo and write to Mr. West again so that I can have an undamaged photo to display.
Actress
5x7 of a young Angela Lansbury signed in gold marker. Ms. Lansbury is one of my favorite actresses, and her performance as Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd is probably my favorite role of hers. I sent this out the same day as I sent the letter and photo to Keith Lockhart, and received this back yesterday, 16 days later! Unfortunately it looks like is was signed and immediately stuck back in the envelope while the ink was still wet, as the signature is streaked, and there is residue on the inside of the envelope. If I get my album booklet back from Stephen Sondheim I think I'll send it to Ms. Lansbury with a lighter photo in the hopes of getting a better looking signature back.
Actor
4x6 monochrome photo of Andrew Lincoln signed in black ballpoint pen. I sent a letter to Mr. Lincoln in London with a 5x7 photo from The Walking Dead back on April 28th and received this signed 4x6 in the mail today along with a form letter explaining that he was in the US for filming. Very happy with this success though! I think I'm going to try sending another Walking Dead photo to him in a few months, when he should be back in the UK.
