Neil Armstrong - used to play celebrity golf tournaments.
Ihhave never asked nor otherwise seeked out an autograph in my life, yet somehow I ended up with…
Judith Hoag who played April O’Neal in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. I was friends with her nephew for a while and when he asked if I wanted her autograph I said “sure”.
and
Joseph Barbara of Hanna-Barbera. My work put me in close proximity to him for a while, just a couple of years before he passed, and I think that he just signed pictures to give him something to do when he came in the office.
I think that’s it. Nothing all that exciting, even if I was the type to get excited about autographs.
Afroman. We were watching the trial on the news and I asked myself “Does this dude still tour?”. Coincidentally, when I looked it up, he was going to be in the same tiny Midwest town we were visiting in only a few days, so I bought tickets. The guy is a born entertainer!
Joe DiMaggio
I got the autographs of the original Black Sabbath lineup at a promo for their reunion tour in 99 or 2000. Ozzy smudged his marker so I got his fingerprint as a bonus.
Got my dad a Ted Nugent autograph since I knew he was a fan. He was at the local sportsman’s gear show, so I was cool with going to that anyway. I think that’s the first time I saw a live bald eagle up close, so that was really cool. Ted played some guitar, which was good, and then gave a really strange talk. I only later learned everything else about Ted other than he liked to hunt, so that is a very mixed experience in hindsight.
Got Jerry Lawler’s at a ComicCon where he was promoting his comic. Got Adam West’s there too.
The ex got the Ghost Hunters’ at a different ComicCon. She was very excited, but I had no idea who they were at the time.
When I was a kid I wrote to a few baseball rookies and got their autographs. I still have them somewhere, but nobody who ever became anybody. There was a player with the same name as me that I wrote a few times, but he never wrote back. Jerk.
Those are all the ones I can think of.
I have an autographed original drawing. Unfortunately, it’s a drawing of the Sandman, by Neil Gaiman. Yeah… I don’t have that on display in my house anymore.
I have a bass guitar autographed by Steve Vai, Tosin Abasi, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt, and Zakk Wylde. It was my first “real” instrument that I got for my 17th birthday, the bass that I learned on, and has been by my side my whole life. She’s retired and hangs on the wall in my studio.
Alan Rickman, the entire Voyager cast and half the LOTR cast.
I’ve got autographs with personal dedication from Terry Pratchett and Arthur C. Clarke. And a few others.
Brendan Frasier, although I haven’t actually met him in person. His mom worked at the same place as my mom, and they arranged to get me a signed Encino Man poster.
Josh Kennedy yesterday.
Medical professionals and justice of the peace for paperwork
Tony Hawk and Steve-O
nobody. don’t see the appeal. I guess literature would make sense. like an author signing a book but like I won’t stand in a line to get one.
Nobody, I don’t see the point.
