Fan Mail

[GoboDeadly95]

Steve Whitmire?

I'd absolutely adore sending him fan mail! I'm new to Muppet Central but I've been a big fan since I was really little. I just recently had a big accident that resulted in lack of mobility in my right hand and once I get it back I want to write a fan letter to him because when I do my thearapy I always watch Fraggle Rock. I'm such a Fraggle Nerd.
Thanks a bunch,
GoboDeadly

I haven't sent any Muppeteers fan mail, but I may try sending some to Steve Whitmire , Jerry Nelson and Dave Goelz in the near future.

The only celebrity I've ever sent fan mail to was Brian Donovan, announcer for the now cancelled US Jetix block and voice actor for Rock Lee from the English dubbed Naruto anime. He is quite the awesome guy. I didn't even need to ask for an autograph and he sent me one anyway. To thank him, I drew him a picture last year as a Christmas present and he actually replied to me a second time to tell me how much he liked my drawing.

He was extremely polite and responded much more quickly that I would have expected. I wasn't even expecting a reply to begin with. A friend of mine had told me stories of experiences she'd had at anime conventions with VAs who were less than friendly and admitted they were only there to sign autographs for the $20 they were charging, so it was nice to see there's some celebrities out there who appreciate their fans.

Does anyone know the address to send fan mail to Frank Oz, Eric Jacobson or Kathryn ullen?

Anyone know where to send Frank Oz fanmail? I'd love to write to him.

I sent Frank Oz a fan letter requesting a signed photo along with a self addressed stamped envelope. He mailed me back two photos of Fozzie and Cookie Monster personalized to me. I sent it to:

Children's Television Workshop
One Lincoln Plaza
New York, NY 10023
USA

Please note that it might take several months to get a reply. If you are wondering about other celebrities (not Muppet related),
www.movieeye.com is very good.

Hope that helps,
MLB

Oh wow! Thank you so much! I'm going to write to him tonight before I go to bed. I wont expect a quick reply, of course, but any reply will make my day, that's for sure.

I found this site called http://www.fanmail.biz/, and it's pretty good for addresses.

I'd love to write some letters requesting autographs, but being in Canada, it gets pretty expensive to send 'International Reply Coupons' with every letter, not to mention the postage to the U.S.

I have gotten a few autographs in the past, it's been a couple of years since I wrote fan letters. I'd love to have autographs from Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson, Matt Vogel, David Rudman, Dave Goelz, and Bill Barretta. I know I could use the Sesame Street address for some of them.

I was on Fanmail biz and someone gotten a reply from Dave Goelz from this address within the last month:

Muppet Studios
350 South Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521

So I wrote to Chris Cerf two years ago and he sent me back this signed collage I made featuring Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats, The Beetles, Bruce Stringbean, How Now Brown and the Moo Wave, Dr. Thad and the Medications, and the "One Way" lead singer. Quite the SS Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame, I must say....

And a few days later, I heard from Jerry Nelson for the second time since I last wrote to him. Like with Chris, I sent him a collage I made, but this one had Baby Rocky, Mr. Chatterly, Nick Normal and the Nickmatics and Lord Hog (the London Hog), and it came back signed!

Earlier this year, I wrote to Amy Van Gilder, and she sent me back this image I found on Muppet Wiki of her with assorted TMS folk (Gonzo, Uncle Deadly, Animal, etc.) signed, a nice letter, AND an image of the Grasshopper from the Bernadette Peters episode of TMS!

I've also sent fan mail and e-mail to voice actors since 2003, and here's the list:

Nancy Cartwright
E.G. Daily
June Foray
Tara Strong
Corey Burton
Katie Leigh
Maurice LaMarche
Kath Soucie
Cheryl Chase
Jennifer Hale
Frank Welker
Michael Bell
Grey Delisle

So I want to get my copy of Caroll Spinney's book (as well as the 40th anniversary book) signed by him but it looks like I'll never really get the chance to meet him personally, so I want to send him my two books for him to sign. So my question is, would it be acceptable for SW to give it to him if I packed the two books up in a package with a letter and asked him to sign it? Anyone who's done it before, how long would it take?
