My Prized Autograph from Claire Danes


I wrote Claire Danes a fan letter after watching the second episode of her amazing show "My So-Called Life."

Something about her left me awestruck. I had to write that letter. I became an immediate fan and looked forward to Thursday nights at 8:00 to watch her on that excellent series.

I was almost floored when I received this postcard in the mail a few months later. When I scanned it into the computer, I overlapped her message from the back of the card so you can see it beside her picture.
I love how she wrote "Best of Everything and signed it with a heart. I always read it as "love Claire Danes."

I have had this postcard framed and in my room for years now. It is my most-prized autograph in my entire collection and I'm glad that I can share it with you.

Very cool indeed! I remember hearing back from my favorite author in 1996 - made a world of difference to me.

So glad you got to experience that!

Hi Chase,

That's fabulous. How kind of her to make the time to reply to your letter. That even makes it more special.

Thanks for all your comments!

It is pretty awesome, isn't it?

I wonder if she knows how much that postcard meant to me. Hopefully she'll find this blog one day, and it will give her a smile.
