Hello i would like to put forward some guest ideas.

 

Martin sheen would be great. The West Wing, Wallstreet, Apocolypse now. great actor.

 

Ken Adam. James Bond Production designer, not only was he the man who created some of the greatest sets and designs from Bond and other films but he was also the only german who fought for the RAF during WWII. (check out wiki) This would, I think satisfy bond fans and also military fans.

 

I would also like to see some more sports guest.

I agree with all these astronauts & I'd like to add the ever elusive Harrison Schmitt to that list (maybe he could be the NASA guest General Stafford is referring to??)

As unlikely as it may be, what about this guy - Jerry Maren - one of the surviving Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz (he is the middle member of the Lollipop Guild that hands the lollipop to Dorothy).

 

His Wikipedia entry suggests he is happy to appear at events.

I think this would be a superb guest from one of the all time classics in cinema history.

Had Stafford done many commercial public signings prior to Autographica? Just trying to think of any astronauts that may be active-ish on the circuit but haven't been over here before.

 

Of course we may get a bit carried away on what Gen. Stafford said, as I understand it he said he'd put a good word in, it didn't sound 100% certain we will be getting a rare space guest over next year. Still its fun to speculate!

I reckon for A15 we need a major A-lister for the show, someone who will really pull in a big crowd and get people talking.....off the top of my head, someone like Lauren Bacall or Jane Russell.....

 

and some more sport stars, plus I'd also like to see some folk from the music world whom I don't think we've seen at an autographica?

 

Finally some ladies from the modelling world wouldn't go a miss!! Cheers

Yep i'd second this list! Anyone have an up to date price list for these guys? Geno was 75 quid a couple of years back when he appeared. And i'm sure i saw on the internet someplace ed mitchell is in the uk next april. Finally another guest who would be great - sigourney weaver. Cheets

This was my first Autographica and I loved it!

How about a few more people from A Bridge Too Far?

 

James Caan

Robert Redford

Anthony Hopkins ( I wish )

Elliot Gould

 

And how about more from Star Wars?

 

Carrie Fisher

Mark Hamill

David Prowse

Peter Mayhew

Anthony Daniels

James Earl Jones

 

It would be fantastic to see a few of these people there next year!

Something has just occured to me, whenever we all compile our wish lists for Astronauts to appear, no one ever seems to ask for Buzz anymore!

 

That's very true. Could it have anything to do with attitude and/or fees?

 

I guess its the combination, the higher fee would be OK if he made the thing more of an experience or a lower fee and accepting that he wouldn't bother much with each person would be the same but the combination of the two is probably a bit too much for a lot of people!

 

That said I suppose I wouldn't be sorry if he came back. I'm not sure I'd want anything signed by him but I wouldn't mind another photoshoot. I'm not sure either of us looked at our best in the last one!

Probably a bit of both, wasn't he charging like £300+ this year? He's not the most chatty of men, but I'd have him back like a shot to be honest

Here's another thought, how about a Chariots of Fire reunion?

 

Is that a serious suggestion?

 

Vangelis would be worth a meet. Ian Holm would serve as a nice LOTR crossover.

 

I concur.

 

Figure Nigel Havers would be popular, Alice Krige has done a few SM events now and I would think Ben Cross would have some crossover appeal as he was in the latest Star Trek film.

Nigel Havers is doing panto in Nottingham this year.

Might be cheaper just hanging round the stage door :)

100% agree with you Ted.

 

My wishlist at the moment is:

 

Lauren Bacall

Jane Russell

Maureen O'Hara

Debbie Reynolds

Shirley Maclaine

Angela Lansbury

Jane Fonda

Julie Andrews

Robert Wagner

Dick Van Dyke

Faye Dunaway

Leslie Caron

Liza Minnelli

 

I'm sure at least some of these are realistic!
