Kyle MacLachlan - Showgirls

Kyle MacLachlan - Showgirls signed 10x8

"Does that piss you off because you're jealous, Cris? Or because I beat you to the punch?"

Uma Thurman was great in the Kill Bill movies, her best work seems to come with Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction is the best though).

I don't think there is a more iconic signed image in my collection.

MILA KUNIS - SIGNED 10X8

The adorable Mila Kunis first caught my attention in "That 70s Show". Her voice is instantly recognizable as Meg Griffin in "Family Guy" (replacing Lacey Chabert who voiced Meg for the first season).

Chris Benoit - Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story

The most controversial autograph in my collection, he was considered one of the best technical wrestlers in the world until he murdered his wife and young son before killing himself in 2007.

Julie Brown - Earth Girls Are Easy

Julie Brown - Earth Girls are Easy signed DVD cover

"Just because they're aliens doesn't mean they can't be dates!"

I'm going to count this as the first ever signed DVD I ever got (the year was 2006). I'm a massive fan of Julie Brown, would buy a movie just because she's in it and I love her songs!!! This so far is the only signed DVD in my collection that is signed both on the cover and the disc.

Glenn Quinn - Angel Issue #7

Glenn Quinn - Angel issue #7 signed comic

Glenn Quinn played Doyle in the first ten or so episodes of Angel, rumours always persist why he only appeared in so few episodes ranging from it was always the plan to some sort of drug issue. Glenn Quinn sadly passed away in 2002 from a drugs overdose. This was purchased through Dynamic Forces who arranged a private signing.

Glenn Quinn (1970-2002)

Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson - signed 10x8

If it was the mid 90s, that would probably be one of the most desirable autograph in my collections. I've been a fan of Pamela Anderson for a bunch of years but never been attracted to her, she's always seemed willing to laugh at herself (see Futurama or Borat for example).
