Ulitzer95 12,574 Posted October 12, 2020 Perhaps worth noting that according to the StarTiger autograph community, he's still signing loads of stuff, and returning them within the space of 1-2 weeks generally. Why do I mention? Well I've been a member on that site for a few years now and generally when people are at the end, they're not returning anything. Correspondence fails or things are returned unsigned to the sender, but he's signing loads of stuff. May be an indication that he's not quite ready to go just yet and will see 2021.

I'm a big believer in the rapid descent between "no longer able to reply to fan mail" (read - not "doesn't want to") and death. Little Richard is a big example this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actress Pat Carroll stands out to me. Religiously signed and returned things up until September (albeit with a shakey hand). Four failed attempts since then from auto hunters. Not "officially" retired but last role was in 2018. Hmm... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the last signing he did, at his home, he looks much older now. It's hard to judge by photos but it seemed more if a strain than just a few years back https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1613384572135349&id=317979738342512&set=a.639512109522605&source=48 There are more photos, none that flattering, further down the FB page. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This upsets me dearly. Big original trilogy fan here. Trying to see what others I can spot. No surprises that Eugene Wright, 97, of the Dave Brubeck Quartet stopped signing anything in 2016. Tom Conti and Jack Nicklaus seem to have suddenly stopped recently too. Hmmm. Nicklaus had COVID in March, talked about in July. He is 80. I wonder if it's had a lasting effect? Conti last appeared on screen early 2019. Interviewed in September 2019. Can't see anything since. Hmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted October 12, 2020 More on Bulloch's lack of signing here. https://www.google.com/amp/s/starwarsautographnews.com/2020/04/02/jeremy-bulloch-no-longer-signing-through-the-mail/amp/ The fact he doesn't say he is stopping but his wife does on his behalf and the fact his website hasn't been updated for two years makes me fear the worst. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did his usual ceremonial tee off at the Masters this morning - he's not in immediate danger (Arnie Palmer just sat and watched a year or two before he passed). Big fan of his legendary golf exploits, his recent support for Trump...less so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there’s one thing Bob Dole can write it’s Bob Dole. Bob Dole was never shy in mentioning Bob Dole when Bob Dole was campaign for Bob Dole. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
