Request for Question Clarification by politicalguru-ga on 15 Aug 2004 00:21 PDT

Mimi, 

First, I don't know if you're aware of that, but we're not allowed to
give you any "private" email address that he might have, only
addresses published by his publicist/fans, to send fan mail.

Second, I should "warn" you, from my experience, that it is easier to
get a response from a celebrity if you write them in a snail mail, as
their email boxes tend to fill up so quickly, that they usually don't
bother answering from there, or send an automated response. They also
consequently change email addresses quiet frequently and that means
that whatever address we might give you - once it has gone to public
it wouldn't take long for it to be - theoretically - outdated.

Please tell me if a "fan mail" address is what you're looking for, if
you'll agree to get the "snail" mail address, and if you'll agree to
receive a direction to a for-a-fee database, if his address could be
found only in one of those.

Hi, I guess you are correct. An accurate fan mail address would be great, or if
indicated in your research,  that the most direct means of contacting
him is only to be found in a 'for-fee data base', THEN IN THAT
CIRCUMSTANCE ONLY i WILL
ACCEPT DIRECTION to a for-fee database.

Email is overwhelming, so as I said above, I will use an address for snail mail.
Just to give a bit of background on the actor, he's older, was the star of the
Rockford Files and recently did a stint on a NEW Tv Sitcom as the grandfather,
after the actor who played the role of the father passed away quite suddenly.
I think it was 8rules to follow, but I am terrible with namess.

The long and the short of it is, he is a great actor, truly, but given his
age I don't know how popular he is with general viewing audiences today.I hope
this is the clarification you need, and thanks for your continuing efforts.

Dear Mimi, 

If you want an autograph, just to send him a fan letter, and so on,
use this address:

The James Garner Fan Club
Pat Persico, President
33 Woodbury Road
Edison, NJ 08820
(One of many sources for this one: Classic Celebrity Addresses
Celebrity Mailing Addresses,
<http://www.reelclassics.com/Address/address-list.htm>).

This address is mentioned in several fans sites as the ONLY address to
which Mr. Garner agrees to receive fan mail (the good news are, that
according to a post on the alt.tv.rockford-files newsgroup
<http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=alt.tv.rockford-files>,
people receive personal autographs!).

However, this is not the end of it - since another autograph hunter
site published another address, and claims to have gotten an answer
from it:

James Garner
33 Oakmont Lane. 
Los Angeles, CA 90049 
USA
(Source: Snail Mail Addresses <http://ppages.bfree.on.ca/orion/snailmail.htm>). 

According to other sources, this is his studio/office address. 

A third address, again according to "Classic" is *only* if you're
sending him professional material (scripts, etc.). Not for fan mail:

"However, professional inquiries should be directed to:
       c/o MaryAnn Rea
       MGB Productions
       2515 Fountain Hill Loop
       Lincoln, CA 95648" 
(Source: Classic Celebrity Addersses

If you want an answer, please remember to be polite, and of course -
to send also a self-stamped envelope (with your address on it!).

And as for other addresses for Mr. Garner... 
29  Cove  Road  
<http://www.hollywoodusa.co.uk/FilmLocations/rockford.htm> 
:-) 

"Jim's address is also referred to as 29 Palm Road or 29 Cove Road or
2356 Pacific Coast Highway. Paradise Cove is actually a private beach
north of Malibu with a gate to regulate pedestrians and drivers.
Rockford's trailer was placed in the parking lot of the Sand Castle
Restaurant, a real eatery on the beach at 28128 Pacific Coast Highway.
William Conrad's house on Jake and the Fatman was the first house to
the right of the restaurant. Paradise Cove was also on the Beach Boys'
Surfin' Safari album cover and was used in filming the teenage sitcom
GIDGET/ABC/1965-66."
