Has anyone here ever gotten an email reply from a celebrity?

A couple of yers ago I emailed Janis Ian and she emailed me back. Other than that, I have sent emails out, but never gotten any reply.

Just wondering.

I haven't ever emailed a real celebrity, I mean, not a towering figure like Janis Ian (I don't mean that facetiously, to me she really is a true legend.)

But I have emailed a couple of cartoonists whose work I admire, and they answered me very graciously.

Edited to add: I emailed Warren Zevon (long before he died) and his son Jordan sent me a very nice reply. (I am and have always been a huge WZ fan.)

I emailed a couple indie film directors to tell them that I thought their movies rocked and now I'm email friends with both of them. I also emailed Adam Curry back in 1993 and we emailed back and forth for a lilttle while. He was on the forefront of the internet thing back then!

I've snail mailed a few over the years. It's normal to get a reply if you ask for one. I usually write to book authors.

I got a direct message on Twitter from Bruce Bowen (played for the SA Spurs) & Michael Cera (from Superbad) both were telling me what a jerk I am.....

Most celebs have people working for them that will respond to you.

Yeah, I am confident that the ones I posted were the real deal, but I tend to wonder if a *really* well-known figure is actually doing the emailing.

Will Wheaton, the guy from the movie Stand By Me, keeps a popular blog.
He is one celebrity who long ago embraced the internet.
