Kathryn Beaumont

(2) Index Cards and Note signed by Kathryn Beaumont

Notable Signatures: Kathryn Beaumont, famed actress who provided the voices for Alice in Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Wendy in Disney's Peter Pan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0064607/)

In November 2011, I sent Ms. Beaumont the first of two letters. As I had seen many other people receive responses in shorter time periods, I was worried that it might have gotten lost in the mail (due to the small envelope size) or overlooked so I sent another letter last month (May 2012). Interestingly enough, the response I received back from Ms. Beaumont was a combination of the two letters: the SASE from the first and the index cards from the latter (I am glad she chose to return the second set as they are FAR superior to my initial batch). 

Inscription: "Best wishes from Alice to Steve"

In addition to signing the Alice card, she also signed the one I designed for the other character she's best known for, Wendy:

Inscription: " 'I'm flying!' Best wishes to Steve"

Ms. Beaumont also included a little printed note with her initials explaining the delay:

Letter Inscription: "Steve, Apologies for such a delay! The fan department no longer really exists, but I do get occasional bundles of mail from time to time. I just received your request! KB"

William Phipps

Index Card signed by William Phipps

Notable Signatures: William Phipps (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0681055/bio)

Inscription: "4/10/12 Malibu, CA", "To Steve - Tks For Kind Words"

This is easily one of my favorite TTM successes because on the reverse of the index card, Mr. Phipps wrote a personal note requesting copies of my custom card! I will be sending him a stack as a way to say "Thank You" for signing my card. He seems to be really into his fans and I want to show him that we appreciate him as well! Here is his note:

Inscription: "4/10/12 Steve: Where'd you get this card. I've never seen one. Can you get some more like it? Tk's"

It's interesting to note that on the front, he signed it as "William Phipps" and on the back, "Bill Phipps". Such an amazing success!

Dickie Jones

Index Card Signed by Dickie Jones

Notable Signatures: Dickie Jones (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427934/)

Inscription: "Sincerely 'Dickie' Jones The Voice of Pinocchio" on reverse of card

Mr. Jones accidentally signed on the back of the card which he later realized. He wrote me a little message on the back of my original note to him:




Inscription: "I bet I signed the wrong side of your card. If so I try to do better DJ"

I ended up reprinting the watermark on the side with his inscription and it came out perfectly fine.
