How to Contact a Celebrity who happens to be a relative?

[meesterperfect]

Hi Everybody.
I have a 2nd cousin who is a very famous actress from a very BIG TV show. She is the daughter of a first cousin who I've never met in person. The family is from California but I'm from NJ. She is the grand-daughter of my fathers oldest brother who headed to California after the war.
The reason I want to contact her is personal, not just to say " Hey I'm a BIG fan". Problem is that since my father passed away I speak to none of my relatives on my fathers side, so getting her familys contact info from one of them if they had it is not gonna happen.

Any ideas on how or THEORYS I can go about this? I just want to send a letter.
Thanks

Why don't you ask your uncle (her grand-father) or even to put you in touch ? I assume you do know your uncle, right ?

He's been gone for years, my father was the 2nd youngest of 10.
But like I said after my dad passed things happened, I don't speak to anybody on his side of the family.
Her part of the family were the only ones from the West coast, Ive never met them.
I don't mind you crazy college kids having fun , but it's a serious question. M'kay.

The fan club, her twitter too, is my last resort.

I was hoping that you were related to the Gallagher brothers.

See if she has a Facebook account and try that way. If you type her name in, multiple accounts come up but it could be for various reasons; tv show page, personal page, fake page etc.... I'd say Facebook is probably your best bet outside of contacting other family members.

how about you come to my house, I hold a knife to your throat, put it yootoob and demand she contact me or "squallumz gets it see, yeah".
no, bad idea. that may be considered illegal in some jurisdictions.

A short google search will reveal who her agent is. Contact the agent, and (s)he will be able to receive a letter from you on your relative's behalf. They will forward it, and, if your distant relative is interested, she'll contact you. That's standard protocol.

I believe that history has taught us that the best way to contact suspected or long lost relatives is via the Jerry Springer Show. It always seems to work out pretty well... :dunno:

Good Ideas. and shes not that distant, her grandfather was my uncle.

Changed my mind, come on over.
