DO YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR THIS STAR?
Though we often hear from representatives and family of those who are listed in Solid!, we don't keep a list of public contact information. If there is an official fan site, or a very well-done non-official site, we will listed it in the artist's bio. You can also visit Reel Classics, which does have a large listing of addresses. If it is an artist that we have been in contact with previously, we may forward e-mail, at our discretion.
