"Weird Al" Yankovic

Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic (born 23 October 23 1959 in Downey, California, USA) is an American comedy musician, writer, and actor. He is best known for writing and performing comedy songs that often parody specific songs by contemporary musicians. He also performs original songs that are style pastiches of the work of other acts, as well as polka medleys of several popular songs, most of which feature his trademark accordion.

So far Al has released fourteen studio albums. He also starred in the 1989 film UHF and had minor roles and cameos in various other films such as The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1987) and its two sequels (1991 and 1994), Spy Hard (1996), and Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020).

Al signed a CD cover for me after his concert at the O2 ABC in Glasgow on 9 October 2015.

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.
