Sent a letter, SASE and 2 photos to Helen Mirren around a 5 months ago. Today I got a signed photo back from Helen and my photos unsigned. I used the address in the data base.
That seems to be the norm for her. It is usually a pre-signed not a reprint so still a good success as it is her signature. At least that is what her staff told me when I spoke with them. The reason given is that she is so busy that when there is time she signs as many as she can.
Would like to know if others have had the same reply from her.
