My girlfriend Maggie and I debate the merits of traveling great distances to meet faded stars and pay them for their autographs. Recorded Sunday, April 19, 2009 at the Chiller Theatre Memorabilia Expo.

  • I agree. I think charging for an autograph AND a picture is bad manners. But I agreed to it, in each case but one. I got such a cheesy hard-sell from Micky Dolenz's "handler" that I left with just the autograph.

    Larry Storch is super cool and I didn't meet Pilato but he sounds like he's got the right idea. These people really need to treat their dwindling fan base with respect, or we won't be fans anymore.

  • Noel Nell was sweetest LL ever. Maggie is right about autographs being dumb,but at these conventions it's more of a ritual than anything else. And 30 bucks is a small price to meet the artists whose work brightened your childhod. p.s. Would Maggie turn down a chance to meet Picasso because she's already seen his work? Great video!

  • First off it costs money to fly them in, alot of these older actresses and actors need the extra cash. I have no issue with paying $30 bucks to meet a few stars some of these actors let you get the picture for free and you pay for the autograph only. I like that your a fan..

  • Also Joe Pilato (Day Of The Dead) was super cool,he signed,took a pic with me and even let my friend get a pic with him,even tho he did not buy a photo.How many others would do that,not too many.

  • OK my comment on this-I was there Sunday also,and it was my first Chiller show.I didnt mind paying someone like Larry Storch for his autograph on a picture,he did allow me to take a picture with him,unlike some of the other stars who charged extra for that,which I think was dumb and if they charged,I just settled for the autographed pic. I agree TOTALLY in the fact that it was my way of saying THANKS to them for their work and for giving me the pleasure of watching them over the years.
