Maryam d'Abo

Maryam d'Abo (born 27 December 1960 in London, England) is a British actress, best known as Bond girl Kara Milovy in the 1987 James Bond film The Living Daylights. She also had a starring role in the science fiction horror film Xtro (1982).

I pre-ordered a personalised photo from the Showmasters send-in service when Maryam appeared at London Film & Comic Con in June 2012. When she appeared at Covcon in Coventry in May 2022 I pre-ordered another signed photo, not personalised this time, from the Covcon send-in service.

Martin Kove

Martin Kove (born 6 March 1946 in Brooklyn, New York, USA) is an American actor best known for his role as the Cobra Kai sensei John Kreese in the Karate Kid film series (1984-1989) and the follow-up YouTube series Cobra Kai (2018-present). He is also known for his work in films such as Death Race 2000 (1975) Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Steele Justice (1987) and Wyatt Earp (1994). He also had a recurring role in the television series Cagney & Lacey (1982-1988) as Victor Isbecki.

I obtained Martin's autograph on the Karate Kid 8x10 photo through the Showmasters pre-order service when he attended London Film & Comic Con in June 2012. The Rambo photo was purchased from Showmasters in September 2020. The signed Karate Kid 11x17 poster was purchased from Cinema Utopia Private Signings in October 2020.

I finally met Martin at Comic Con Scotland in Edinburgh in October 2024, where he signed my Rambo soundtrack sleeve and a Death Race 2000 12x16 poster. He appeared at the same convention again in October 2026 and I had a photo taken with him, as well as Ralph Macchio and William Zabka.
