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 fans—and especially to those fans celebrating a birthday today.
