That’s quite a list you’ve got there. (Actually, I wrote to Billy Joel years ago and received a personalized autograph). I doubt you’ll find these addresses for free (unless you head to a library, but those might be out of date), so [check this out.](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0970709536/qid=1128519863/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-1202306-6637433?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

You can also try an IMDBpro account. It won’t usually give you the celebrity’s personal address, but it’ll give you the names/addresses/email addresses (sometimes) of their publicists, managers, and agents.

I will look into the costs of them. I wasn’t expecting the personal address but one for their agent or handler

For Billy Joel I would try to find a contact address for either Sony or Maritime Music (Billy’s music office). I seem to recall something about Maritime either moving or closing up shop. They did have a fire there a few years ago, so perhaps it was just moving. [billyjoel.com](http://billyjoel.com) doesn’t seem to have a contact page, but I didn’t hunt around long.

Thanks for your suggestion to search for Maritime Music I stubled across this site
[http://www.platinum-celebs.com/celebs-mail\_address/address\_j.html](http://www.platinum-celebs.com/celebs-mail_address/address_j.html)
They list the addresses for Mr. Joel as
Joel Billy
334 E 59th Street New York, NY 10028
c/o Maritime Music 280 Elm Street, 2nd Floor Southampton, NY 11968
c/o Maritime Music Inc. 200 West 57th Street Suite 308 New York, NY 10019
I don’t know which one is the correct address to use. I called the chamber of commerce in southhampton to inquite if Maratime Music was still at 280 Elm St 2nd floor the the woman who answered the phone said she never heard of them.

A reverse phone lookup didn’t net me anything either.

I’m kind of curious about why _those_ 5 celebrities. They don’t seem to have any one thing in common with each other, except the fact that **MannyL** wants to send them letters. Are you writing some sort of manifesto?
