Gene Autry, The Singing Cowboy


Gene Autry was always one of my favorites. I was too young to have grown up with him, but I always enjoyed listening to CDs of his old Western songs. He was one of the first people I ever wrote to. He was always a true gentleman- definitely lived up to the persona he portrayed on the screen. Needless to say I was pretty thrilled when I got this one back!

Sir Alec Guinness



Sir Alec Guinness probably received a ton of fan mail from people who knew him as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. Personally I preferred watching his other roles. I wrote to him in 1995 and I don't think i even mentioned Star Wars at all. The picture I chose to draw him from was from one of his first films, Great Expectations (if I remember right). His signature is in the lower left corner.
