Kapture, Mitzi: SP, 8x10 black and white.
     642 days / Received 04 March 1999
     8281 Melrose Avenue #200, Los Angeles CA 90046

It's nice to get this response back--I definitely prefer to get something back, and you can see I had a long wait with this one.  It is likely, unfortunately, an autopen.  My scan may not depict this, but there is a shaky quality to the signature that you often find with autopens.  If anyone has had better luck with another address, or by sending a photo, please let me know.


Katsulas, Andreas: SP, 8x10 black and white.
     42 days / Received 02 April 1998
     P. O. Box 856, North Hollywood CA 91603

I was very pleased with this success, as Mr. Katsulas plays my favorite character on Babylon 5.  I have been unsuccessful in finding any scans of his signature, though, so while I suspect it is authentic, I am not sure at this time.  If anyone knows where I can see a scan, please let me know!  The photo is signed with a black sharpie in the upper left corner of the photo.


Kaye, Thorsten: ISP, 8x10 black and white.
     7 days / Received 05 July 1997
     c/o One Life to Live, 56 West 66th Street, New York NY 10023
     "To Alyssa--Best Wishes . . . Thorsten Kaye"

Mr. Kaye sent my fastest response: 7 days.  The picture is an unusual size, not quite an 8x10, and he signed it with a blue sharpie.  I'm not sure if he is with the show any longer, so you may want to check that out before you send a request.


Kelley, DeForest: SP, 8x10 black and white.
     10 days / Received 01 July 1997
     415 N. Camden Dr., Beverly Hills CA 90210
     [Check out updated info. about this address on the ]

As a life-long fan of Star Trek, I was thrilled by this success. The picture is from Star Trek VI; I'm not sure what kind of pen he used to sign it--it's a light colored pen.  There has been some question about whether he is signing any longer, so please visit the Autograph News page for more information before you send a request.


Kingsley, Ben: SP, 3x5 black and white.
     110 days / Received 27 February 1999
     New Penworth, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwishshire 0V3 7QX, England

This was a lovely success.  I've really admired Mr. Kingsley's work in several recent made-for-TV movies. He sent a nice photo (it's clearer than the scan indicates) which is signed with a blue sharpie.  The signature matches scans I've seen.


Kirsch, Stan: ISP, 8x10 black and white.
     107 days / Received 23 May 1998
     c/o Rysher Entertainment
     2401 Colorado Avenue #200, Santa Monica CA 90404
     To Alyssa--With best wishes, Stan Kirsch"

This was a fairly fast response; Mr. Kirsch sent a great picture.  My Highlander collection is really starting to fill out.  The photo is signed with a black sharpie, and the signature matches scans I've seen.


Lansbury, Angela: SP, 5x7 black and white.
     53 days / Received 22 August 1997
     635 Bonhill Road, Los Angeles CA 90049

Angela Lansbury sent a nice close-up which was signed in black.  My hunch is that it is authentic, but it might also be secretarial or stamped.  If you have any information about this signature, or have a scan of success obtained via mail, please get in touch with me.


Leick, Hudson: ISP, 8x10 color.
     167 days / Received 25 June 1998
     P.O. Box 775, Fair Oaks CA 90069
     "Dearest Alyssa, Hudson Leick"

I sent my first request to Hudson April of 1997: it was the first autograph I sent for in the mail.  I was disappointed a few months later when I received a letter from her fan club saying that she was out of photos!  Anyway, I persevered with my autograph collecting (as you can see from my list of successes), and I tried again with Hudson.  This time I sent a photo for her to sign.  The signature is written with a thick purple pen and it matches on-line scans.  This success is important because it reminds me that patience will often be rewarded.


Leigh, Janet: 2 ISP, 8x10 black and white.
     11 days / Received 03 April 1998
     1625 Summitridge Drive, Beverly Hills CA 90210
     "To Alyssa, Fearfully yours! Janet Leigh"

Ms. Leigh is a very gracious woman!  I sent her a photo from Psycho, which she signed and sent back to me.  She also sent a more recent photo, also an 8x10 black and white.  Both autographs are personalized and signed with a black pen, probably a felt-tip, since it's thicker than a ball-point.  This was a generous response!


Leoni, Tea: SP, 8x10 black and white.
     27 days / Received 27 June 1997
     3500 West Olive Suite 1400, Burbank CA 91505
     "Best Wishes and Peace! Tea Leoni"

This is an excellent picture (which she provided), but it's a pre-print.  The signature (which is in black) is made up of many little dots, just like a picture.  That's the giveaway for this one.  I was a little surprised, because I had heard she sends genuine autographs.  She didn't in this case, however.


Lunghi, Cherie: SP, 8x10 black and white.
     30 days / Received 11 March 1999
     c/o Incoming Mail
BBC, Wood Lane, London W1R 7RJ, England
"Best wishes, Cherie Lunghi"

This is a delightful success, as Ms. Lunghi is an actress whose work I have enjoyed in several diverse projects.  I sent her a black and white photo, a scene from a film I particularly enjoyed, which she signed and returned.  The signature was done with a ball-point pen.  I have included a scan; if you have any comments about its authenticity or can refer me to another scan, please get in touch with me.
