Received a nice success from one of my all-time favorite actors, the incredibly talented Alan Rickman. Thanks to his flawless and quite emotional performance as Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II (not to mention his performances in the other seven films), I selected Alan as my 2011 Person of the Year on my Facebook-based talkshow, Point of View. While my nomination may seem trivial, I strongly believe he should have been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, but alas, the elite members of "the Academy" decided otherwise...he was the series' best hope for ever winning an Oscar.
Alan is currently appearing in the Broadway production of Seminar alongside Jerry O'Connell (remember my post??), and has been absolutely wonderful at replying to fanmail. I sent a 5x7" photo of him from Seminar in mid-January, and although he kept my photo, he sent me a different 5x7" photo of him in the same pose and a playbill from the show...both signed and dedicated to me. Now, here's the kicker...it was raining when this came and one drop of precipitation -- ONE drop -- hit the envelope and managed to seep through ever-so-slightly. I've allowed for it to dry and for the wrinkles to flatten (I'm quite anal), and now it really doesn't look half-bad in my autograph book. I am in no way complaining, as Mr. Rickman is a semi-tough autograph to obtain, but curses to the rain!
Hello, fantastic success !! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteI also received Alan's autograph on Feb 25, he kept my photo and sent me another photo of him too - the same photo as yours.
But did you send that playbill for Mr.Rickman to sign ?
Hello Kim! Thanks for the comment -- I actually requested a signed and dedicated playbill in addition to a signed photo (I've got a sizeable playbill collection and wanted to add "Seminar" to the group). Hope this helps!
