I don't quite understand the phenomenon of collecting autographs of celebrities, I can understand it more if it is on a photo and especially if you were able to give the photo to said celebrity or in the front of a book as at a book signing, but at the appropriate times, for example, Mr. Rickman would always sign autographs after his theatre show on Broadway or book signing or some convention or a premiere or some event where the celebrity is attending to promote some project or another.......I certainly do not understand hounding celebrities trying to live their off screen and interrupting their meals etc for an autograph...
I guess some people need an autograph to prove they meet so and so, personally if people don't believe you it is their problem, LOL, of course I have never seen my favourite celebrity up close and personal, the Toronto Film Festival being my only hope and I didn't think Gary was coming for NBM which he did and not only that I hear he was great at the after movie Q & A period that the directors of most films usually do......
then he was supposed to come for the Contender and I had my schedule all set this time and then there was the brouhaha and he didn't end up coming, boo hoo.......
now I did collect some autographs as a kid when I was a big NHL fan, LOL, I had all these Buffalo Sabre autographs but I had to earn them - a radio station had Ask the Sabres on every morning and you had to submit a good question for a certain hockey player and then you would get their autograph if your question got used, so my bigger thing was the fact that my questions got picked several times, LOL, but you know, who knows what happened to those autographs, the one was almost totally faded out last time I saw them about a decade or so ago, LOL......and I taped all the answers, wonder what happened to those cassettes LOL...
