I really liked Shirley MacLaine's books (the early down to earth ones and the later cosmic ones), and wrote her a thank you letter once, and I actually did get a reply.

Also sent a letter to Joan Baez and got a reply from her mother and corresponded back and forth for a few years. Found her an old record of Joan's one time that she wanted and mailed it to her, and she sent me a tape of "Diamonds & Rust in the Bullring", recorded in Spain.
