Actress Ingrid Pitt was so profligate at film shows, that Hammer items without her name emblazened on them now tend to be worth more.... I would refine my initial reluctance to have memorabilia signed by saying that if a movie had an outstanding ensemble cast - Magnificent Seven, Great Escape, Dirty Dozen etc and someone had, over many years, tracked down all the main players and got them to sign appropriately, then you'd really have an fantastic piece. But leading actor plus number six or seven in the billing just seems to deface a perfectly nice poster, especially when number six or seven has a far more flamboyant signature. Ideally, autographs should just be signed on reproductions made for that purpose.

Why do you think those 'celebrities' waste their time at these crappy shows? Because it's so much fun? I have no doubt that most of the 'stars' you see at those shows are indeed desperate for the money. Helmut On the other hand, I'm sure nether of these two fine men needed the money.
