Very well done on getting Anthony Dawson - that is a real holy grail in the Bond autograph world! He is very very rare, more rare than the likes of Pedro Armendariz, Adolfo Celi etc.
I have a Rik Van Nutter signed photo, he is fairly rare but I didn't know he had a book out - unless it's a different Rik Van Nutter & the people selling have got it wrong?
Come on Jean-Michel get a scan up of that Dawson! )

007_Autographcollector is correct...they are not written by him but apparently come from his library. Nice items for the collector though.
I received a pair of Maryam D'abo autographs TTM today. I sent them in June and they arrived to my old house in London on Dec 29th, and to me in Tasmania today. As soon as I find my camera, I will include them in my blog...
Norman's a great guy - I've met him a number of times and once looked after him (and Jan Williams) at an authograph show for the day. He always brings his Oscar with him too!
I have just put up my Maryam d'Abo new autographs on my site below for anyone who would like a look. I did kindly ask for her to personalise them in my letter, but they are just of her signature. I still really like them though.
He's much shorter in real life than you think! I was interviewed for the BBC with him last year (Tilly Masterson was with me at the time). Apologies for the stupid grin on my son's face - he doesn't yet share the same passion for Bond!
Just got a very rare autograph indeed today!! Got my photos back signed by Rob Tierney who was the Red Cross "G-Huey" helicopter pilot in "The Living Daylights". He sent me a wonderful typed and signed letter too where he was talking about all the wonderful things he had done in his career. He also sent me some printouts of various screen shots from the movie.
In case anybody is unsure as to which helicopter I am on about, its the white/red one that comes to collect Jeroem Krabbe (Koskov) who is being kidnapped again from the British Secret Service.
Absolutely thrilled as he is very tough to get!!
Rob's a great guy. He's a friend of my Dad's and he even let my go for a helicopter ride in the G-Huey which was used in the The Living Daylights...was amazing.
Got my photos back signed from Ronald Rich today after a short wait - very pleased!
Hi Tilly Masterson 007 - please can you PM me with Ron Rich's contact address -his is an auto I've wanted for some time but I was under the impression that he was no longer with us, so have only been looking on the second hand market, many thanks.
Japanese proverb say, "Bird never make nest in bare tree".
Just added a very rare autograph today!! Alexandra Dane who was one of Pussy Galore's flying circus pilots. Very rare, the only one I have seen!!
I really dont think Alexandra Dane was a Flying Circus Pilot. Here's some interesting info about these girls..
Between the shooting at Northolt airstrip on May 13th 1964, and additonal shots completed on July 2nd, 1964, of the five original girls who played the pilots, two had been replaced.
The original May line up was with Aleta Morrison, Maggie Wright, Jane Holland, Jane Murdoch and Maise Farrell. By July Jane Murdoch and Maise Farrell had been replaced by Caron Gardner and Lesley Langley. So 7 girls played the 5 pilots, but two of them were eventually only used for photos and never seen in the film.
There are photos on the net and stills which show Honor Blackman and the orignal 5 girls. When you watch the film and they run up to Pussy Galore Jane Murdoch and Maise Farrell are not present, there not even seen in the film at all. Lesley Langley and Caron Gardner come running up with Aleta Morrison, Maggie Wright and Jane Holland.
Aleta and Lesley I know, and Aleta is actually the Squadron Leader who does the talking when they gas Fort Knox, alot of people thought it was Maggie Wright who played the Squadron Leader but its not.
So Lesley, Caron, Aleta, Maggie and Jane Holland are the only 5 girls seen on screen playing the Pilots. There is also one other blond girl who is seen stepping out of the plane when they arrive on the runway..but she is not seen running up to Pussy Galore or seen later in the film. She is Sharon Higdon she only was bought on to film her getting off the plane and is not seen again in the film. Not sure why they even decided to use her.
So Alexandra Dane is not one of the girls in the film or even in the promotional shots that were taken. Dont believe everything you read on the net and imdb cause alot of the times it just stuff made up. Also watch out for the Aveleyman website, alot of the stuff on there is wrong. The information and pictures they have up about Goldfinger are completly wrong, wrong pictures with names etc.

Unfortunately I am not prepared to give out his address to any Joe Bloggs as he prefers that his address remain private - sorry!
I did think he had died quite some time ago, but this isn't the case at all which is good.
I can provide a scan here of the autograph if you want?
Very rare autograph today! Got Jeff Farley who built the animatronic shark in Licence To Kill! He send me a nice signed collage of the sharkscene with David Hedison. And a handwritten signed letter on his personal stationary! See pictures and enjoy!

I had some success tonight.
Just got Patrick Malahide, Rory Kinnear and David Calder (just about as he didn't want to hang around!) all in person. They are currently all in the Hamlet play on tour.

That Dawson is great looking, nice signature.
Well done Paul - great one to get! -{
I got him TTM a few times over the years & he's always been fairly quick at responding just as he has in your case!
Yes well done! I never thought to send off to Geoffrey when I did a mass send out. I will in the future.
Terry's a great guy - got lots of time for him!
Gee, well done with Pete Pedrero - never heard of him but he sounds like a rare one! -{
Stanley is a great guy, very much still active in his senior years - met him at Autographica once interesting bloke & got loads of signatures of him.
I second that! Nice guy & always has time for a chat.
Rob's a great guy. He's a friend of my Dad's and he even let my go for a helicopter ride in the G-Huey which was used in the The Living Daylights...was amazing.
Hmmm, that'll be the one you outbid me on!

I've got Topol a few times TTM, always a great bloke who'll sign most of the time.
He seems to write 'Shallom' nowadays on his autographs.

Very nice! What a great auto to get. Well done.
