Some stars try to respond to all their mail, but most only reply selectively if at all.
When writing to request an autograph, be sure to follow any instructions that the star has specified. The information about autograph policies has come from the celebrities themselves , so if they ask not to be bothered with autograph requests, don't bother them. This category applies to people in the film industry and other professionals seeking to contact a star about business or other related matters. Examples include filmmakers, film festival organizers, charitable organizations, authors researching books, etc. A few of the stars who no longer accept fan mail still oblige certain professional requests for interviews and public appearances.
