<p>I was able to get him in 2020. He's in a lot of my favorite movies and have always liked him. Nice guy and still wears that jacket from Varsity Blues.</p>

<p>My comedy hero, Bud Abbott, didn't seem to rely on secretaries. Lou Costello did, however. </p>
<p>Having said that, both Bud and Lou would occasionally fill in for one another when signing a team photo.</p>

<p>I talked to a film historian who said Joan Crawford never let anyone else sign for her. She viewed the signing as another of her disciplines that demonstrated her care for her fans. She signed photos in any downtime and even when being chauffeured in a car (as shown in the film. Mommie Dearest.) She would often hand out signed photos to waiting fans as she exited a car so she didn’t have to stop to sign. She never wanted to disappoint them but also didn’t want to be tied…</p>

<p>Sylvia Miles would get mail at her home and would sign and return anything. She’d even pay for postage if they didn’t include it. <br/><br/></p>

<p>I was fortunate enough to get an authentic signed photo of James Stewart as young star very stylishly dressed. He was true gentleman. </p>
