Re: [MOPO] paying for autographs
I’ve never felt very tempted to collect autographs, other than a handful I couldn’t resist at the time like Christopher Lee, Michael Powell, Audrey Hepburn and Otto Preminger, and a few other less famous folks linked to favourite films, mostly on books or photos. The only occasion I deliberately set out to get an autograph on a poster was when I took an original quad for Vertigo to the 96 London premiere of the restored version, hoping to get it signed by Kim Novak like a blushing schoolboy. This I succeeded in, only after Ms Novak’s bodyguard almost wrestled me to the ground. And – this will make some of you wince – I also got it signed by Pat Hitchcock, but she was such a lovely person to talk to, actually asked to look at the poster I was clutching folded in my hand, and seemed genuinely interested in it (perhaps a better actress than given credit for!) In this case I didn’t care, it was all about the memory of an event related to one of my all-time top films.

[MOPO] POST OFFICE CHANGES
Hey Mopoer's, I just got back from the Post Office to ship some lobby cards to England. 2 things, it appears there has been an increase in Priority Mail service (It now costs near to $40 to send a lobby card with cardboard in a sturdy folio. The other is the clerk showed me a readout effective today Feb 22nd that evidently Insurance will NOT be available for Priority Mail to England. It used to be some insurance was automatic with Priority Mail shipments overseas so I am not clear whether this automatic amount (used to be like $90) is no longer OR that ANY insurance is no longer. Just wanted to give a heads up to dealers who ship overseas. Things are again in flux starting today. freeman Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

[MOPO] OT: DiCaprio Helps AMPAS Acquire Best Condition Ruby Slippers from Oz.
February 22, 2012 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Oz Ruby Slippers Find Their Way Home. MAJOR ACQUISITION FOR THE ACADEMY MUSEUM OF MOTION PICTURES. Leonardo DiCaprio spearheads effort with help from Steven Spielberg, Terry Semel. Beverly Hills, CA – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has acquired a pair of the iconic ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio led a group of angel donors whose gifts to the Academy Foundation enabled the purchase. In addition to the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation - a component fund of CCF Environmental and Humanitarian Causes - donations came from producer-director Steven Spielberg and Terry Semel, co-chair of Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the former chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. and Yahoo! - along with other donors. The ruby slippers occupy an extraordinary place in the hearts of movie audiences the world over, said Bob Iger, president and CEO of the Walt Disney Co. and chair of the capital campaign for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. This is a transformative acquisition for our collection. Leo's passionate leadership has helped us bring home this legendary piece of movie history, added Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. It's a wonderful gift to the Academy museum project, and a perfect representation of the work we do year-round to preserve and share our film heritage. These slippers, known as the Witch's Shoes, are in the most pristine condition of the four pairs of ruby slippers known to exist. It is widely believed that these are the slippers Judy Garland wore in close-ups and insert shots, most famously when Dorothy clicks her heels three times to return to Kansas. They are called the Witch's Shoes because they are likely the pair seen on the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy's house falls on the witch. After production of the film ended in 1939, the ruby slippers were stored on MGM's Culver City lot for the next three decades. Several pairs of slippers were discovered in 1970 by costumer Kent Warner while he was preparing for that year's historic auction of MGM costumes, props and other production-related items. One pair of slippers was sold at the auction and was donated anonymously to the Smithsonian in 1979. Warner kept the finest pair – the Witch's Shoes – in his private collection for more than a decade before selling them at auction in 1981. They were sold again in 1988 to another private collector, and have been displayed publicly only a handful of times in the years since, most notably at the National Portrait Gallery and the Library of Congress. The 2012 sale to the Academy was handled by auction house Profiles in History. Last October, the Academy and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art announced plans to establish the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures inside the historic May Company building, currently known as LACMA West. The building has been a Los Angeles landmark since its opening in 1939, the same year The Wizard of Oz premiered. ABOUT THE ACADEMY The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world's preeminent movie-related organization, with a membership of more than 6,000 of the most accomplished men and women working in cinema. In addition to the annual Academy Awards—in which the members vote to select the nominees and winners—the Academy presents a diverse year-round slate of public programs, exhibitions and events; provides financial support to a wide range of other movie-related organizations and endeavors; acts as a neutral advocate in the advancement of motion picture technology; and, through its Margaret Herrick Library and Academy Film Archive, collects, preserves, restores and provides access to movies and items related to their history. Through these and other activities the Academy serves students, historians, the entertainment industry and people everywhere who love movies.

It is widely believed that these are the slippers Judy Garland wore in close-ups and insert shots, most famously when Dorothy clicks her heels three times to return to Kansas. They are called the Witch's Shoes because they are likely the pair seen on the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy's house falls on the witch. After production of the film ended in 1939, the ruby slippers were stored on MGM's Culver City lot for the next three decades. Several pairs of slippers were discovered in 1970 by costumer Kent Warner while he was preparing for that year's historic auction of MGM costumes, props and other production-related items. One pair of slippers was sold at the auction and was donated anonymously to the Smithsonian in 1979. Warner kept the finest pair - the Witch's Shoes - in his private collection for more than a decade before selling them at auction in 1981. They were sold again in 1988 to another private collector, and have been displayed publicly only a handful of times in the years since, most notably at the National Portrait Gallery and the Library of Congress.

HA! Me too! Though a paw print from the dog that gets deep-sixed by Raymond Burr would be a nice added touch for me. And if it could be sat on by the young woman who played The Body - well - I know that's asking a bit much, but I'd pay eve more for it.

[MOPO] How did he do such great stunts, with such little feet?
What, no one cares about Hed-ley Lamarr? How did he do such great stunts, with such little feet? Lamarr's (Harvey Korman) final words after he gets shot by Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) outside of Grauman's Chinese, gazing at Douglas Fairbanks' footprints (Blazing Saddles, 1974). My favorite scene in that picture is when Bart holds a gun to his own neck, playing a stooge hostage who cries out Help me, somebody help me! - in front of the clueless and racist townsfolk, who all have the same last name, Johnson.
