Fanboy Fa… Holy Crap! Cate Blanchett And Rooney Mara Success! Say Wha! Autographs! And More At The Carol Q And A!
Okay, sometimes you just have to try. There are times when you have a 15% chance to get something but you just never know.
Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara were doing a q and a for Carol. And my history with Cate Blanchett has been… Spotty at best.
There were only about five people there when I arrived and then Scotty showed. I told him that we might want to make a sign. Why not right? Listen anything that could possibly work.
The weather was chilly and frightful. It been a monsoon here in Los Angeles lately, but thankfully it’s been dry today.
Rooney Mara arrived and she said she would sign on the way out.
Okay, and now we wait for Cate Blanchett. Time was ticking out and finally Cate arrived. She went inside right away and pretty much bolted. Doh!
So now we wait. Scotty is convinced that we’re going to be lucky tonight. I’m not so sure.
Then, the door opened and Rooney Mara came right on over to us.
She signed for Scotty then signed my The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo poster. Sadly it got smeared… I did try and fix it though.
Then Rooney signed my W Magazine as well. That one came out nice.
Rooney Mara signed for the line and then left.
And then… Out came Cate Blanchett. I think I lost my shit.
She signed a one sheet for the theater and then… My God she came right on over to us. I about lost my shit. She signed my Lord of the Rings poster that I’ve been trying to get her on for years.
Then she signed my Elizabeth mini poster as well. I about died. Literally, almost passed out and died.
She signed a lot, I have to say, and she was very nice. I couldn’t believe it.
Woo to the Hoo!
Until next time kids…

One question Mike – did you lose your shit?
Maybe she saw her name on the worst signers list.
LOL, yep… I did lose my shit! LOL. Maybe she did see her name. God, that would be awesome!
She was so nice that evening. I could not get my pen to open. I said, “I’m so sorry…I’m so nervous.” She replied, “Don’t worry. It’s okay.” I did my best no to lose it. Ha ha
Thank you Cate!!!!
That was the same situation I had with her one time after a play performance of Hedda Gabler. She was about to get into her car and leave after signing some autographs. I wasn’t lucky then, but I yelled, “Cate, would you sign my program”. She stopped, came back and signed. She also thanked me for coming to the play. Glad to see you finally had a good experience with her.
Hey Mike! I was there aswell! Only I was naughty enough to sneak away from security and didn’t stay behind the fence. I got near her when she was standing around the car. Was so baffled I got next to her that I couldn’t utter any words or snap a pic. That’s why I was wondering if you have any more pics? If a bright pink coat pops up I’d greatly appreciate it if you’d give me a shout!
