In September 2016, I visited the home at 1579 Benedict Canyon Drive where George Reeves (Clark Kent/Superman from "The Adventures of Superman") lived in when he died mysteriously from a gunshot wound that he suffered while on the second floor of this house. For an interesting analysis of this case, murder or suicide, you can watch the movie "Hollywoodland", with Ben Affleck playing George Reeves.

Superman Returns one-sheet, signed by Brandon Routh and Sam Huntington
Signed by Brandon Routh (Clark Kent/Superman) and Sam Huntington (Jimmy Olsen). In 2014, when Sam Huntington signed the poster at DragonCon, he asked me if there was anything special that I'd like him to write. After thinking for a moment, I asked him whether there was a little piece of trivia about the movie that not too many people knew about. With that, he wrote "I stole the bowtie", referencing Jimmy Olsen's trademark apparel. In 2017, when I brought the poster to Brandon Routh, I asked him to do the same thing. His inscription reads "I have a fake wig curl - that was never used".

Yitzchak Rabin
Taken in early 1992 at the Plaza Hotel in NYC at the end of a UJA luncheon. My grandfather, in between Prime Minister Rabin and me, put his arm around Rabin, and I thought the Israeli Secret Service was going to have a fit (or worse). Hence, the worried expression on my face.
At my grandfather's table was a man who was quizzing me about where my ex-wife and I were going on our honeymoon. When I told him "France", he gave me his card and told me to go to Mumm for the champagne tour. He wrote a message on the back of his card to give us "the royal Mumm treatment", and he told me to give it to the person at the desk. When we finally got to Mumm for the tour, I handed the card to the person at the desk, and they asked me how long I'd known Mr. Bronfman.

Todd Rundgren
Photo taken on the Adult Swim's Williams Street rooftop parking deck after Todd's appearance on FishCenter Live on 5/30/2017.
Todd took a great interest in my Monkees logo iPhone case. He actually started singing the theme song.
Signed - ironically - on 10/5/19 in Beverly, MA just before a Beatles White Album Tribute concert that he co-headlined with Micky Dolenz. Meet and greet photo from that concert is shown here....

RuPaul
At
the 2016 Emmys, Ru took issue with me because I did not give him a "3
count" prior to snapping the original picture. We re-took one (this
one), and he was much happier. Ru was right and I was wrong.
UPDATE: I brought this picture to the 2018 Emmys. I ran into RuPaul (an Emmy winner himself that night) at the HBO Emmys after-party, and I asked him to sign the photo. He had a purse in one hand and his Emmy in the other. He refused to allow me to hold either so he could sign. Instead, he leaned over, thanked me and gave me a big kiss on the cheek.

Mark Ruffalo
Although it is difficult to tell, this photo is actually signed by Mark Ruffalo. If you look closely, you can see that he signed in black marker on top of the black tuxedo jackets, overlapping both him and me. I never did find out why he had a huge red wine stain on his shirt. I didn't catch that until I saw the image later that evening.
