I think he's a great actor and so I sent him a few photos from some of my favourite roles he's played over the years.
I sent 8 page A5 LOR, 4 photos, SASE.
Address: (taken from fanmail.biz)
Sir John Hurt
Independent Talent Group Ltd,
(Talent Agency),
40 Whitfield Street,
London

Sent: 07/09/2015
Received: 20/11/2015
Turnaround: 10 Weeks 4 Days
Received all photos autographed in my SASE.
Unfortunately the photo signed in gold ink wouldn't dry and much of it came off when I removed the photo from the envelope. No matter how long I left it, the ink wouldn't dry. I did a bit of research and read the only way to prevent the ink from deteriorating further is to spray the area with clear gloss spray used for protecting oil paintings. I purchased some off Ebay, sprayed over the ink. Left it to dry for an hour and sure enough, I can rub my finger over the ink and it no longer smudges.
I'm very greatful for this success and hope all works out well for John.
