Comments: This beautiful actress/model signed all 3 of my 5" x 7" color photos in a real short time. She also wrote on the back of my SASE "Thanks for sending a SASE". She must get a good bit of autograph requests without the people including a SASE... bad collectors :-p

Sent: 1/12/06
Received: 4/7/06
Comments: This is the autopenned photo she "signed" from this play. She returned my other 2 smaller photos untouched. Just wanted to post what my autopen looks like... it is definitely an autopen as it matches the SFM photos and other "signed" photos people got from this address.
