I am toying with the idea of sending a letter to a celebrity. I thought it might be fun to write to 1 celebrity a month for my little letter project. If you know me well, you know that I don't really care much about "fame and fortune." I do however, think it would be cool to learn about some of them. I don't know who I would write to really. I honestly cannot think of 12 off the top of my head. Just for fun. Who would you write to in these categories:
- World leader?
- Actor/actress?
- Musician?
- Someone you respect?
- Famous person from the past, even if they're not alive anymore?
- Authors?
- Philanthropist?
- Someone in another country?
Wow, I'm really bad at this. I can't even think of categories! Ha ha!!! So, who are some of your choices- even if they are really silly?
Fun topic, Jen! When I was little, I wrote to a few celebrities. I actually heard back from Brad Renfro, Zachary Ty Bryan and... someone else (can't remember his name!) I still have my Brad Renfro autograph somewhere :) I've also sent letters to Green Bay Packers, and had a good success rate with rookie / new players responding. It always helps to send an SASE. (It betters your chance of getting a response) I'll have to think on your questions, and will get back to you :) Good luck with your fun new project!
ReplyDeleteI've written to several celebrities lately, and heard back from 2. If you like Dick Van Dyke - he sends an autographed picture pretty quickly.The other celebrity I heard from is the man that played Burt on Broadway (Mary Poppins). He sent 2 autographed pictures to me! :D
ReplyDeleteAlso - if you want a reply, include a self addressed, stamped envelope. ;)
Weird, I replied when you first wrote this but it apparently didn't go through. Which address did you use for both of them? That's cool!
DeleteI sent the letter for Burt to the theater, but Mary Poppins isn't on Broadway anymore, so I don't know how to contact him.
DeleteFor my other letters I use http://www.fanmail.biz/ That's where I got the address for Mr. Van Dyke. I have a page on my blog called "Alice Requests" where you can find the addresses I've used. :)
Can I have a link to your blog? I don't know if I have it.
DeleteOH! If you're hoping for a picture make sure you send an envelope big enough.
