Shirley Eaton

Shirley Eaton (born 12 January 1937 in Edgware, Middlesex, England) is an English actress and model, celebrated in her heyday as a major sex symbol.

Eaton appeared regularly in British films throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and gained her highest profile for her appearance as Bond Girl Jill Masterson in the James Bond film Goldfinger (1964). Eaton also had roles in the early Carry On films. Preferring to devote herself to bringing up a family, Eaton retired from acting in 1969.

I obtained Ms. Eaton's autograph through a private signing organised by Our Disappearing Planet in October 2020.

Me Me Lai

Me Me Lai (born 3 November 1951), sometimes billed as Me Me Lay, is a Burmese-British actress and television host who worked mainly in British and Italian films, most notably in the horror genre.

I know her best for her striking roles in a number of Italian cannibal-themed exploitation films: Umberto Lenzi's Man from Deep River (1972), Ruggero Deodato's Last Cannibal World (1977) and Lenzi's Eaten Alive! (1980).

I purchased Me Me's autograph from a Showmasters Facebook sale in September 2020. The photo, a copy of a German Eaten Alive! lobby card, was signed when Me Me made an appearance at London Film & Comic Con in July 2019.

Frank Bruno

Franklin Roy Bruno, MBE (born 16 November 1961 in Wandsworth, London, England) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 1982 to 1996. He had a highly publicised and eventful career, both in and out of the ring. The pinnacle of Bruno's boxing career was winning the WBC heavyweight title from Oliver McCall at a packed Wembley Stadium in 1995, in what was his fourth world championship challenge. Bruno faced multiple top-rated heavyweights throughout his career, including two fights against Mike Tyson in 1989 and 1996, and a domestic clash against Lennox Lewis in 1993.

I met Frank Bruno for the first time at the Entertainment Media Show in London in October 2012 for a photo shoot together with Mike Tyson. I met him again, this time for a signed photo, at Film & Comic Con Newcastle in March 2014.
