I am about to make your day! I promise!! There is NO WAY what I am about to share with you will not make you laugh out loud, and possibly shed a few tears! This is one of the few times in my life I am so grateful I didn't send a letter I wrote....And now I am putting it out there into the universe to bring joy to people that might be having a rough day....I swear, the following letter is REAL! I REALLY wrote it, and truly intended to send it. ENJOY!!!
I love that I included my address. I must have either thought they would write me a letter back, or just show up at my house and try to woo me in person! Completely understandable!
And to think, had I actually sent this letter out, it could have been the start to my acting career. So many lines left unsaid, so many autographs left unsigned. Alas, no regrets!
2 things:
ReplyDeleteA. Your post made me laugh so hard I choked on my tea.
B. You should've mailed it. Barbra Streisand sent me an autographed picture when I wrote her a fan letter at the age of 11.
HAHAHA!! sorry about the choking thing :) that is SOOO amazing about Barbra Streisand!!! at age 11? amazing!! You don't have a copy of that do you? Could be next week's post!
ReplyDeleteI did send many letters when I was younger and got responses: Fred Savage (huuuuge crush!), Judy Blume...Not sure why I never sent the one to As the World Turns, but I am soooo thankful I still have it!
I love this letter!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mar! It's definitely a Samantha classic, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteyes, i wish you'd mailed it. you might have kick started your stand up/comedy show when you were 13!
ReplyDeleteahh no regrets. liz! i needed the time to cultivate my talents (and social skills)...
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing, this is great! I started watching Days of Our Lives when I was about 11 and could have written a letter like this myself - I swore I would be the star of a daytime soap :) Then life happened...
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks Sarah! I've been laughing at this one for a good 18 years myself :)
