I'm an autograph collector and was SOOOO lucky to be able to meet so many of the old time stars before they passed away!!
I was fortunate enough to meet & get autographs from:
Ella Fitzgerald Gloria Swanson Betty Grable (3 months before her death) Claudette Colbert Vivian Blaine Virginia Mayo Margaret O'brien Henry Fonda ........THE rudest man ever.......oh well!!! Geraldine Page Beah Richards......(Pointier's mom in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner") Rip Torn......Page's hubby
Kenneth........formerly 'hairdresser to the stars' when I asked him for his autograph, he screwed his face up in disgust and said 'you want WHAT??".....real class, huh? but he did sign at least........his clients were Jackie O., Duchess of Windsor and Marilyn Monroe !!
Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson.....on the streets of NYC.......I surprised them, I guess, & when I asked them both to sign, he said, rather irritated,'.......do you have PEN?'..........lol.........
Kathryn Grayson,musical star from the 'glory days' of MGM musicals
well there are others I can't think of right now........these were obtained over a period of a little over 20 years, starting in the late 1960's.......
each and every one was exciting to get.......and such memories!!!
anyone else on here a collector? and who have you gotten to sign??
