v Finding the Address v

This is usually the most difficult part of autograph collecting, especially if the celeb isn't very well known. There are many outdated addresses out there, but you've gotta use whatever you can find. Here are some steps to take if you're looking for an address:

1. Go to the main page and see if there is a site listed for the celeb. If so, follow the link and see if they have a fan mail address listed. Addresses are usually under sections like "Contact Information". If you can't find the address on the site, you can try E-mailing the webmaster.

2. So, you tried that, but no luck. The next best idea is to visit Celebrity Address web sites. There are tons of them out there, but here are a few with sections exclusively for young stars:

• Celebrities- Infospace - just type in the name to search
• Chip's Teen Idols and Celebrities Addresses
• Melanie's Autograph Page
• My Successes
• NBC Show Addresses - go here if the actor/actress is on a show on NBC (write c/o)
• Starsite- young actor addresses
• The Teen Celebrity Address Universe
• Teen Magazine Star Mail Directory

3. OK, if you're still having trouble, try looking through some of teen mags (Teen, BOP, BB, etc.) They often include sections for fan mail addresses. If that doesn't work, you can also try posting on message boards like Young Stars Central, Celebrity Emporium, Young Actor Discussion Forum, and the Autograph Message Board, hopefully someone will be able to help you out.

4. If you've tried all 3 of the previous steps, but came up with nothing, you can send me an e-mail at karen@movieluver.com with your request. It may take me a couple weeks to back to you, but I've gathered quite a few addresses over the years, so there's a fairly good chance I'll be able to help you. Please do not send other (non-address requests) e-mail to that address, instead use my main karenrh@bigfoot.com address.
