So, let me share with you how you are making a little girl's special night into an incredibly awesome night! Chessy is a musical theater buff. She won the lead role as Darla in Those Little Rascals. Her brother Charley's idea is to hide the picture you sent until her last performance and give it to her as she comes off stage instead of our usual flowers & chocolates routine. Oh, she is soooo going to love this! Thank you for providing us with a lot of fun over the years of watching Charmed!
From Stephanie in Chicago (Chessy's mom)

"I'M SPEECHLESS. When I went to my mailbox today, i saw a big white envelope. I thought it was really strange, because there was my address on it, but then i saw "Hollywood, CA" in i know it have to be from you. The two autographed pictures are so beautiful!!!! I still can't believe that you treat your fans so nice and with a respect" I wish you luck and lots of love."
From Jo, a 13 year old from Vienna and President of the Jennifer Rhodes Austrian Fan Club

"I loved you as Grams on Charmed. You remind me of my own grandmother. If I ever get to make a movie out of my family's life, you are the one and only person that could ever play my grandmother. Keep up the awesome work, you're the best
From Roni
----------------------------------------------
"I just wanted to let you know I did visit the site and yes you are definitely a sweet woman - and as soon as you told me today you were Grams,I recognized the voice. Sorry I missed you on Young and Restless (I watch "Days"). I truly hope your trip to Dallas is enjoyable"
From a phone conversation with Chris, an airline representative
----------------------------------------------
"Just one other thing, you mentioned that you are just an actress doing a show yet somehow touched our lives.
While it's true we first wrote to you as an actress because of the role of Grams, our thank you card was sent to Jennifer Rhodes the person because of your kindness toward us as YOU are the one who touched our lives.
Not enough people take the time these days to smile at a stranger or say a kind word. Tammie and I both work with the public on different levels and we know first hand that one act of kindness can really make a bad day better.
So we once again thank you for your kindness to us.
Love,
Lisa and Tammie Dover, De

“You are my favorite butt-kicking nun!”
From Bryn Hammond (Editor of Gorezone Magazine, UK)
----------------------------------------------
“I must admit, I am a fan of yours….I was so nervous about meeting you, but you are such a sweet lady! As I’m sure you know from your experience on “Friends”, some people are either rude or have no sense of humour whatsoever, but it was so cool messing around with you because you winked and nudged and just had a good time. It’s nice to see people who connect with their fans!”
From Adam in London
-------------------------------------------------
“I admire you so much, you’re very clever to act. Charmed is my favourite TV programme. . I know it’s so much, and you’ve no time to answer to my letter, but if you can find some minutes you’ll make me very, very happy!
From Elisa in Fano, Italy
----------------------------------------------
“I think Grams is a very spunky lady. Jennifer, you really know how to make your fans laugh, Love ya,”
From Tonya in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
----------------------------------------------
“Here in Europe I am probably the greatest fan of Jen. I even visited her in London three weeks ago. It was amazing! Now I see that there will be Site of her and that makes me even more happy. Jennifer rockz! A site of her was about time. Thank you”
From Andreas in Germany
----------------------------------------------
“My time with Grams was great I loved every minute. She was polite, sweet and caring listens to her in the talks were great and every little thing about it. She was very kind to me and I’m so glad I met her it’s the best birthday present ever!!!!”
From Alexandra in London
----------------------------------------------
“You are a talented actress. It was nice to see you perform. You did a great job in your role”
From Tom in Worthington, Minn.
----------------------------------------------
“I can honestly say the scenes between your character and her daughter are carrying the show and so are the scenes with Susanne Pleshette. The rest of the show stinks. You and Suzanne are tops but no actor can take nothing and make something out of it. We need to tell the writers that fans expect more than sex-starved nurses making love in broom closets”
From Joey in Virginia (Regarding “Nightingales”)
----------------------------------------------
“You are a very special lady to me and a great actress. Thank you for all that you do and for being you”
From Ken in Cheney, Washington
----------------------------------------------
“You have given a number of fine performances in your various film and television appearances. You always put so much enthusiasm into them that it is a real pleasure to watch you revealing your deep understanding of the character you are portraying. I shall be watching the series whenever possible in order not to miss any of your performances.”
From Frank in Studio City, CA
----------------------------------------------
“I became an instant fan of yours when I seen you in “The 11th Commandment” You are a terrific actress and I hope to see a lot more of you in the future.”
From Al in Stockton, CA

Open Letter to My Fans in London
When I was offered the opportunity to go to the “Charmed” Starfury Convention in
London in July, I thought, “Oh great, a paid-for trip to London, the town I love”
But something unexpected happened to me. I spent three days with about 600 people who greeted me with so much, “enthusiasm” is the only word I can think of, particularly at the Closing Ceremonies, that I was completely overwhelmed!
As actors, we want people to appreciate our work, but I wasn’t prepared for the true affection I received. So all I can say is “Thank you and I appreciate all of you as well. “ When I got home, it took me awhile to get over myself but my friends pointed out, it was time.
I returned to London in September to attend the Celeb Events convention and while it was only one day, it was filled with warmth and so many really lovely people.
So now I’m back to my routine, but I must tell you, I will never forget the experience of meeting all of you and those very special days.
Best Witches,
