We recently asked Contact
Any Celebrity subscribers to let us know their thoughts on the
"Most Fan Friendly" celebrity. The responses came pouring
in--here are some of our favorites:
"In November 2002 we met and spent
the day with Colin Farrell, his sister, agent Josh Lieberman and
his Mom aboard the Russalina catamaran. At the time we thought
my significant other had bleeding ulcers. Later we found he had
stomach cancer and has since passed away. A few months before
that, I contacted your site and was able to get in touch (via
mail) with both Josh and Colin to tell them that, in fact, Jack
would not be with us for too much longer, and sent them a roll
of film from our day with them.
They picked out 3
of the best photos, had them blown up to 5x7, and autographed
them with significant personal messages. I was thrilled but did
not tell Jack what I had done, so when they sent them overnight
priority via Federal Express, it was extremely heartwarming.
Sometimes we forget that movie stars and agents and people with
money are REAL people as well. I would like to thank them both
again for caring enough to make a dying man and his companion
extremely happy. Thank you both again and best wishes for 2005!"

"My vote goes to
Tom Selleck. I have two "reports" on him. My sister-in-law lived
in Honolulu while Tom was filming "Magnum, P.I." She is an
amateur photographer, and ran into him in the park whlie taking
photographs. She asked him if he would post for a picture; he
did, and was very nice to her and talked a few minutes. She made
copies for all the girls in the family!
The second story
is: I was a travel agent for many years, and booked a nice
senior citizen couple on their dream trip to Hawaii (also during
"Magnum P.I."). When they boarded their flight in Honolulu to
return to the USA, they passed Tom with his wife Jilly, and
their daughter Hannah in the first class cabin.
After take-off, my
client wrote a note to Tom asking for his autograph for her
granddaughter. She gave it to a flight attendant and asked her
to give it to him. The slip of paper was not returned during the
flight, and she thought he had blown her off. When she and her
husband deplaned, he was not on board. When she entered the
airport, Tom, Jilly and Hannah were waiting for her.
He wrote out his
autograph and a note for her granddaughter, posed for a photo,
and chatted a few minutes, then wished them a nice trip home!
What a guy! Needless to say, that made their trip!"

"I first met
Caroline Rhea in 2002; she treated me like a long-lost friend.
She was doing a show at the time and introduced me to the
audience as her little Scottish friend. I met her again when I
went to see her do a comedy on stage and she recognized me and
started introducing me to some of her other fans. She is such a
sweet and warm loving person and I feel privileged to know her."

"I received
several letters from Liza Minelli while she was staying at the
Caron Foundation. I didn't think that they could have contact
with the outside too much, and for her to write to me while she
was there it was just marvelous. I cried! I almost always get a
response. I have met her in person and she is just so sweet and
humble and giving. She's the "cream of the crop, at the top of
the heap" as her song says."

"I have met singer
Mariah Carey on two occasions and she is definitely the
sweetest, most genuinely open celebrity in the media. She asked
me about school, signed several things for me, and was just very
nice. When I told my friends of my friend meeting with her, they
didn't believe me. The second time I met Mariah she took a
picture she had already signed a few minutes earlier out of my
hand and wrote on the back, "Yes--she saw me!! Pow!" so I could
prove it.
This is only one
example of how wonderful Mariah is...she writes and calls her
fans at home, throws them parties, and is always gracious. Ask
anyone who's (really) met her and you will find warm memories
all around."

"In November I got
the chance to meet Angelina Jolie at the Hollywood premiere of
"Alexander." She was on her way out of the theatre and I was
able to meet her. I yelled her name and asked her if I could get
an autograph, and in her rush to get into her limo she said,
"Hold on, I'll be right there!" She turned and came directly to
me. I told her that I was a Teacher's Assistant at an elementary
school and she congratulated me. She said she thought it was
great what I was doing for a living, and signed my picture and
shook my hand and left. It was the best experience of my life.
I am a big fan of
Miss Jolie. She was the main reason I joined Contact Any
Celebrity. I wasn't really able to tell her everything I wanted
to tell her because I was pretty star-struck but it was a great
experience. I hope to one day have the pleasure of meeting her
again and telling her everything I wanted to say that day. She
was very nice and for that reasons she'll continue to be my
favorite celebrity."

"After Roy, of
Sigfried and Roy, was injured, I sent prayer cards and crystals.
I later received a letter from Lynette Chappel from Siegfried
and Roy's entertainment corporation. She sent a letter on his
behalf which was wonderful, and she thanked me for my prayers
and good wishes. It was especially wonderful because they were
so busy with all that was happening--I was so touched. I will
cherish this letter always."

"I am planning a
90th birthday celebration for my mom who is known as "Yankee
Mary"--a die-hard New York Yankees fan. I wrote letters to 20
celebrities and I think that George Steinbrenner deserves my
vote. I got a response within days by phone and email. I also
received a large box of goodies, baseball attire, an autographed
book and picture of him. It was all addressed to Yankee Mary on
her 90th birthday.
I was impressed. I
also received an autographed picture from Yogi Berra, Bucky
Dent, Hank Bauer, Tony Bennett and Jerry Vale. I was skeptical
at first as to whether the addresses were valid, but it appears
that www.ContactAnyCelebrity.com is a great website. I did not
even send anyone a return self-addressed stamped envelope. I
think I just wrote an impressive letter with photos and a unique
birthday invitation."

"I saw Scott Wolf
at Denis Leary's celebrity hockey game for firefighters in
Boston. Because my dad is a Boston firefighter, I was so
appreciative that celebrities would take time to recognize
everyday people and help raise money for them. I wrote a letter
to Scott Wolf thanking him so much for being supportive of
people like my dad who risk their lives so often. I didn't want
or ask for anything in return, I just wanted him to know how
much that really meant to me on a personal level.
About a month
later, I got this envelope and inside was a personalized and
autographed picture of Scott thanking me for my letter. Some
people tried to discourage me and tell me that he has people
sign these things for him and that he didn't read it or sign the
picture, but I'd really like to think he did and I'm very
thankful."
