Lindsay Wagner

Lindsay Jean Wagner (born 22 June 1949 in Los Angelese, California, USA) is an American film and television actress, model, author, singer, acting coach, and former adjunct professor. She is best known for her role of Jaime Sommers in the science-fiction television series The Six Million Dollar Man (1975-76) and The Bionic Woman (1976–78). I know her best for appearances in films such as Nighthawks (1981) and Ricochet (1991).

I sent the Nighthawks lobby card below to Ms Wagner in February 2015 and received it back, signed and dedicated, seven months later.

Billy Dee Williams

William December Williams Jr. (born April 6, 1937) is an American actor. He appeared as Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars franchise, first in the early 1980s for The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), and thirty-six years later in The Rise of Skywalker (2019), marking one of the longest intervals between onscreen portrayals of a character by the same actor in American film history.

He first came to my attention as Detective Matthew Fox in Nighthawks (1981), one of my all-time favourite Stallone films. He also starred as Detective Hazeltine in Number One with a Bullet (1986) and played Harvey Dent in Batman (1989).

Mr Williams signed my Nighthawks lobby card when he appeared at London Film & Comic Con Spring in February 2016. I did not attend this convention but used the Showmasters pre-order service instead.

I purchased Catherine Mary's autograph from one of the Showmasters Facebook sales in March 2021.
