Tabrett, who played Cara on Legend, was in Hollywood a couple days ago performing in a play so I went to check it out and she was SUPER nice!
About 2 hours after I showed up she showed up and was really excited to sign when me and my friend asked her (we were the only 2 people waiting for her.)
I had a bunch of photos for her, 13 to be exact, and she signed all of them! Thank you Tabrett for being so cool.
I went to Slash's star ceremony on Hollywood Blvd hoping to get a couple more autographs of him (which I didn't as he barely signed), plus try to get Robert Evans who I am a big fan of and if you like Hollywood history read his book The Kid Stays in The Picture and try again for Charlie Sheen.
Robert didn't sign as he could barely walk and needed assistance so honestly I didn't ask him.
Charlie on the other hand was a completely different story. He comes over to the crowd and tells everyone to take pictures but says he won't sign. I hold up a photo of him and Slash and he looks right at it and comes over to me and asks if he can have it. I tell him yes. He then asks if I have 2 of them to which I say no but its no big deal he can still have it. (My thinking is if he takes it maybe he will sign a different photo for me.) However, he says he won't take it as I only have one. He then tells his people to come over and get the photo and they then proceed to ask me for my phone number and address, which I give them and they then walk over to Charlie and hand him a black sharpie and I watch Charlie sign it! I am thinking great I am getting Charlie's autograph on this day! Nope. They then come up to me and say they will mail it to me! WTF!!! I tell the guy he just signed it why can't you give it to me? His guy says if he does then everyone will know that Charlie signed for me and then he will have to sign for everyone! To prevent this they will just send it to me! So, I got nothing but maybe I will get it in the mail but I am not holding my breath.
I was a HUGE fan of Guns N Roses growing up and get excited anytime I get a chance to see any of the band and so when I heard Slash would be out the night before he would be in Hollywood to receive his star on the Walk of Fame I figured now I have 2 chances at him!
He signed on the way out and when he came out said he would do 1 each and started at my end and as soon as he did everyone from down the line came running to the front and threw their items over top and for a minute he wasn't sure who he was signing for which enabled me to get 3. On the last one as I am being shoved in 4 different directions he told me to stop moving the photo so he could sign it!
SOA was filming yesterday and while I hate doing sets (don't know who will be there or what time) I decided to try and when I showed up found out it was only Jeff Kober and Charlie. Still, since Charlie was there it makes it worth it.
Jeff came through first and I added him to a cast shot and got the photo op with him.
Charlie then got on his motorcycle and drove up to us and started signing and I got video of it as well. He stopped, talked to all of us for quite some time and signed and took pictures and was the super nice guy he always is.
I now have Charlie, Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, Maggie Siff, Jeff Kober, Taylor Sheridan, Tim De Zarn and Christopher Reid on this.

The Spiderman premiere was last week and I was among the hundreds of people there trying to get autographs and I did quite well considering I didn't bring photos for everyone.
The first to drop was surprisingly Andrew Garfield as he started at one end and proceeded to sign for EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE but was insistent upon using his black sharpie which was not flowing well but I was able to get to him in the beginning so mine didn't come out to bad. I was able to get him on my Spiderman cast shots and all the other photos I had for him as well.
I really loved The Social Network and now have Rooney Mara, Aaron Sorkin and Andrew on this.
Next up was Rhys Ifans and I had never met him before so was happy to get him especially cause he didn't seem into signing so have no idea when I would get him again.
Emma stone arrived next and while she didn't sign as much as Andrew she had a better sharpie in her hand so the autographs came out better.
Once the movie ended I saw Matthew Gray Gubler leaving and asked him to sign a autograph and he was so excited to sign my 500 Days of Summer and even asked who else had signed it.
This may sound weird to some people but this premiere for me was all about C Thomas Howell. I grew up watching this guy in E.T., Red Dawn and The Outsiders and was so happy to get his autograph and get a photo op with the guy.
These are the cast shots I worked on. I ended up getting Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, C Thomas Howell and Rhys Ifans on both.
