Michael's official website invites fans to send him SASE's to receive a 4x6 autographed photo, but I sent him one I'd found of him in character as Mike Newton from the Twilight books. It wasn't the best quality photo, so I'm really glad he kept it and sent me two more, including this 8X10 headshot. I know he read my letter because I mentioned being a fan of the show "Joan of Aracadia" on which he starred, and he included a pre-printed autographed cast photo. Awesome!

My first "Twilight" success

All I can say is WOW! This, at the moment, is my favorite autograph of all time. Some backstory: I'd heard Nikki wasn't a good TTM signer because, as she has said before in interviews, she doesn't understand why anyone would want her autograph. Still, I liked her as Rosalie and rented "Thirteen" and was blown away by her, so I sent her this photo just in the hopes she might respond. My letter must have done something right! Love this inscription, since it's obvious she actually read my letter. To clarify, my letter told her that I thought she did great as Rosalie and that I was very impressed that she had written "Thirteen" and starred in it at such an early age. I mentioned my hopes for seeing "Eclipse" since Rosalie has a bigger role in the book, told her she and Kristen Stewart were two of my favorite young actresses because they showed a lot of integrity in the roles they pursued, and I made a tongue-in-cheek reference that I was sorry, but I hated the O.C. (Nikki had a role on it way back when) and not even Nikki could make me like it. :) I'm still in shock and quite amazed I got this back and got it so quickly.
