Fan mail

[Charmless Man]

I occasionally write to authors if I enjoyed their autobiography. I got lovely hand-written letters back from David Attemburgh and Stephen Fry. Dickie Bird typed a letter on what looked like to be an antique type writer.

When I was a kid I wrote to Michael Palin asking him why there was an extra dwarf Horseflesh who is mentioned in the film and appears in the credits of Time Bandits but you never see him in the film. He replied saying they realised that they then had 7 dwarfs and Disney were making noises about legal action so they shit themselves, cut his scenes but still left him in the credits (and paid the actor).

Whee?

 

[The soap powder]

When I was a bairn I sent a letter to Jim Carrey saying how much of a big fan I was - he sent me a signed picture of himself with "spank you very much" written on it

I also wrote to Cameron Diaz after seeing her in The Mask and said that I wanted her to be my girlfriend (I was 8) - I never got a reply

Carrey or Saville ??
