Hi Michelle,

I looked in 3 different places for checks, contracts or the like. All I found was this questionnaire at HD. Not much to look at - nothing at RR or PSA. The other like items I have seen signed (apart from a Gleason) were hand signed but as with any source, one must rule out a secretarial/proxy.

Here I am on the QM2. I did not think I still had these images. As you can see, I am not quite the "shut in" as has been claimed.

Thanks. No, she was not. There are several theatres and such and I have no idea who was doing what where.  I was really there for the 80th birthday hosted by Cunard & Lalique reps of my long-time friend the late great author John Maxtone-Graham. It was in the Todd English and I enjoyed some of the best food I ever ate.

Ed Sheeran sailed in 2016. A temporary recording studio was constructed on board so he and his producer, Benny Blanco, could record what was to be his hugely popular third album, Divide. They also filmed Ed’s documentary, Songwriter, on board, which was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival.

I know Carly Simon gave a special concert in The Queens Room. James Taylor also.  Uma Thurman, Russell Crowe, Richard Dreyfuss, John Cleese, and Angela Bassett have all been aboard. Carrie Fisher, Jane Seymour and Meryl Streep too. Many, many others I am sure.
