Ok, this item was up for bid on ebay, as were 2 other pictures, the guy selling them says that Bernadette signed all 3 of these on the site, but they really dont look like Bernadette's autograph to me, I think she would of at least put her last name?, I dont think I will be betting on this! lol
Caty Is it fake?

Actually that pretty much looks like her autograph signature-at least the one I'm familiar with from the playbills she has signed for me. She usually doesen't sign out her last name completely.
I would still be leary about purchasing an autograph over e-bay because I'm sure that many times these are just someones good impression of a signature.

I know Bernadette often signs in just a BRP fashion, but I must say that the one at that particular link does look rather shady. Her endings don't usually trail off in that squiggly way; they're usually more sharp. But that's not to say she didn't sign it. What you have to worry about with ebay autographs is that they might be signed, but the photo and signature might be copies (not the originally signed photo).

The first couple of letters look real, but the ending of her name does not. I suggest if you want to buy something autographed, you look for the stuff being auctioned off for Broadway Barks on Ebay. That way, you are contributing to a great cause and know the item is authentic.

I have no idea whether this autograph is authentic, but I bet celebrities generally know when they're signing for a dealer who's just out to obtain an item to sell for profit. They might scrawl something down, but not take the time to be as legible as they might for a genuine fan in different circumstances.

Christine -- you said "BRP" Just out of curiosity, what does the R stand for?

The "R" stands for her middle name Roberta, after her mother, coloratura soprano Roberta Peters.
Seriously, I've heard people both ask if they were related and actually affirm that they knew they were.

Except that Peters is not the family name. So unless Roberta also used to be Roberta Lazzara ...

Yeah, Peters is a stage name for both of them. It's just an example of the weird misinformation people sometimes have. Sitting in an audience before a show starts, you can often hear people make some of the most outlandish assertions. Sometimes it's hard to resist turning around and correcting them.

She *claims* she has no middle name, but maybe she has one of those awful middle names that no one wants to admit to, like Ethelreda or Walpurgis. (just kidding)

Oh I know Karen. I remember one time at Annie Get Your Gun some people behind me were discussing the fact that Bernadette was once married to Steve Martin. It took so much self control for me to not turn around correct them. I thought I might scare them with my knowledge of Bernadette. lol Because Lord knows I would not have simply said, "No, she was never married to him." I would have turned around and gave them her life story.
