JULIA WINTER - A nice 'bad' girl

Some photos...


and the letter...

Today (monday) when I get to my work (I use my office address on my SASEs) I got envelope from England. I opened it up and it appears to be from Julia Winter aka "Veruca Salt" from CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.

I am very happy. The first is that this is the first autograph to come back in September and second that it's been a month since my last success and third, I kinda lost hope on that one. I wrote to Julia in about February or something. And whilst I saw many people getting responces I though she decided not to answer mine.... But I was wrong!

What I got:
I got 3 of my printouts signed and inscribed (I sent);+
I got 4 of her 5x7 bw and color portrait photos lovely signed and inscribed (she sent!!!)+
one similar to one of the above 5x7 photo signed and inscribed to one of my friends.
+BIG WOW! - inside there was a 6x6" envelope with 6x6" double postcard with a LOVELY and quite big letter.

That's it.

'Funky Spaceman' - Mr. Richard T. Jones

Hi All,

Today I got another success (after almost a month of dry time). I didn't expected a success a second day in a row, so that was a great surprize. And much greater surprize was inside the SASE. When I opened it up I couldn't believe it.

I don't know if you know about my passion to the EVENT HORIZON (1997) thriller movie. I collect everything from it. Got most of the cast. Actually about all. The only person that I didn't had was Richard T. Jones who was portraying 'funky spaceman', rescue technician Cooper. I have written to him in the past for more than 5 times, actually I think it's closer to 10 since the start of my EH cast collection. He never replied. After I once called to his agency they DID sent me his generic 10x8 SP, but I was not happy about it as I really wanted to have his character photo(s) signed and preferably dedicated to me.

Now it's all came to an happy end. After all these years of retries, he did replied to me. This is actually a reply that I sent in September last year (I was started to think about sending again this year!) - so that was out for about a year.

He signed and sweetly dedicated two 10x8 color photos I made from Event Horizon scans. Really great quality photos. He also signed SP one 6x8 photo which I am going to send to my EH collecting buddy Tom. Finally he typed and signed a letter to me (short note) where he thanked me for support and wrote that my letter was misplaced and his wife found it and he gladly replies to it. This is very nice of him.

I am very happy.

OK I counted the number of my retries - this was a request number 6.

That's it.

PS: This year is unbelievably good for my EH cast member collection.
I got nice photos of Sean Pertwee ("Smith"), Joely Richardson ("Starck"), Jack Noseworthy ("Justin!"), Paul (W.S.) Anderson (Director) and Peter Marinker ("Captain Kilpack").
The ones that I still want is a Kathleen Quinlan (that would be a repeat, I already have one photo, but want a better one), Laurence Fishburne (also have one MATRIX photo signed, but want EH one) and lesser known actor Noah Huntley who portrayed "Burning Man".
