I used the address listed on this site---the one to OPBFC.

If you visit his homepage and join his fan club (free) it'll give you instructions on how to send for an autograph!

Which address did you use for Pierce?

After the dedication she wrote, "All the best to you my friend, Thora"

What did she write?

I printed my own photo for Thora Birch and she signed it for me with an awesome inscription.

I've had many successes from photo's I've printed myself!

BTW - I originally printed my photos on glossy paper but discovered that several celebrities used non permanent pens to sign the photo which caused the autograph to essentially fall off the glossy paper (how frustrating)... Since I've switched to matte photo paper I've had no problems.

I've recieved these autographs and more from pictures I've printed:

-Emmylou Harris
-Sylvester Stallone
-Clint Eastwood
-John Travolta
-George Lazenby
-Susan Sarandon

Hope this helps.

I actually hate sending index cards because i think that makes it look like you're a collector. They must go "hmm an index card...and they bought a pack of 100 for 100 other celebs to sign huh?" I hate giving that impression so if i do send an index card i say that i didn't have anything to send that i didn't mind losing so my dad gave me an index card as he has lots for work haha!

I hope not. I don't sell any pictures or anything, I just do it for fun, so I wouldn't like them to get that impression.

I've only printed things out when I wanted to ensure I got something recognisable. I guess theres always a chance they'll just sign the index card, and when thats happened on a couple of occassions, I havn't been sure who its from.

I think in future i'll just send a blank postcard and keep my fingers crossed for a picture from them.

most stars have their own b&w headshots. unless you're sending via venue, you'll most likely NOT need your own photo. if i do send stuff, i would send magazine cut-outs and stuff like that.

You should use a site like truprint.co.uk or ofoto.co.uk and upload the pictures and have them printed there. I print them on 4x6 through those sites and you get your first 10 4x6 prints free on both sites. If you refer a friend on truprint and they create an account, you can get 20 free prints for each person you refer. Myself and Alan referred our own email accounts, signed up for accounts with all of them, and on one account ended up with over 100 free prints. So I got 110 prints for 99p..
