My Dear Miss Watson


When I was young, I had a book that listed the home addresses and PO boxes of famous athletes. The author advised us autograph seekers to be patient, persistent, and payers of postage—well-paid athletes can’t pay for stamps!—so as to increase our chances of success.

Eager to test the outlined methods, I sent a dozen short notes and self-enclosed stamped envelopes to several postage-bereft professionals. I waited patiently for a month—per the author’s suggestion—but eagerly in the month-to-three-month likely-to-respond period.

The result? Nada. Zilch. Nothing.

I’m hoping, for Olivia’s sake, that British actresses are better at responding to their fansand especially to those fans celebrating a birthday today.
