When You Wish Upon A Star

Too lengthy to answer as an FAQ, but asked often, especially by fellow collectors, is “Who do you WISH you had in your collection?”
Of course, there are a slew of random, genre-crossing and obscure names that flood my brain and my eBay searches. Watching an old movie or reading a biography can trigger a deep dive into a celebrity rabbit-hole, cascading further into “Wait, do I have this person? Are they alive? Should I add them to my collection?”
But for the purpose of this entry, I’m going to stick with my top 5 constants. These celebrities have been on my most wanted list for years. As I ’m sure they’re on other serious collectors’ lists as well.
Jacqueline Kennedy, Maria Callas (yes, I get the irony), Greta Garbo and Marlon Brando.
Other than La Divina, they were all tough signers during their lifetime.
Jaqueline Kennedy is my number one most desired autograph. And I mean “Jacqueline Kennedy” her full name as such - not Jacqueline Onassis, JKO, Jacqueline Bouvier…
