That's cool that you wrote to celebrities. I would have never thought about that back then. The only important letter I remember writing was in the mid 80s. I had been a gymnast in college and lived in NYC. I wrote to the Hollywood Stuntmen's Association asking them how I could become a stuntman. The President of the association wrote back and said, "You have to move to Los Angeles." I did and five weeks later I was stunt doubling Richard Pryor in a Warner Bros movie named "Moving." You never know where a letter can take you.
I honestly don't know how I got the idea or even where I found the addresses to write to, but I will always remember that Ari Meyers actually took the time to write me a handwritten letter in response. Says a lot about her as a person. It's really cool that your letter changed your life in that way. I can only imagine the stories you could share about working with Richard Pryor...
