Do you still have the tape recording? Perhaps you could upload it as an audio file. I am sure also some others would be glad to listen to it.
I doubt if Silvia is the most photographed pornstar regarding published pictures. Usually (for Private, Twistys, 21sextury, Pier999, ClubSilviaSaint, silviasaint.com) she had 100 or even less pictures per photo session, whereas on sites like Brazzers or Realitykings they use to publish about 1000 per session. On the other hand she has a very long career with only a short interruption. Apart from Lisa Ann and Zsanett Egerhazi I cannot remember any other female famous pornstar that was active since such a long time until 2014. Maybe Tiffany Mynx, but she is not that famous although member of the AVN Hall of Fame.
I did not see particular "editing/joint marks", but generally spoken on the whole picture the quality is better if the resolution is higher. But a better quality of the original on your computer is not kept if you post it here, since the forum software automatically downsizes it. The only way is to keep the additional link "View Image" to the original. Anyway, do it how you like to. It was only a hint just in case you did this not on purpose.
Thanks Bernd. I will try to find it and at least print the "interview" as I don't know how to create or upload audio files of cassette tapes!
I am glad that the "wallpapers" are displaying reasonably OK on regular size screens at 800 x 600 size.
I can also scan in the personal autographs in the Private magazines - we had to be careful which page we had open when Silvia was signing the magazines in the public caféteria area at the airport, as people were sitting close by at adjacent tables. Silvia said "Oh, that's an old one" about one of the magazine photos. As it was, the airport staff noticed me taking photos of Silvia with my camera and one even asked to pose with her!
After Silvia went through the departure gate a little while before the final call (in order to buy some presents for her mother),I showed the magazines to the staff (who were all male) and they were quite surprised to learn who it was and they wanted to show the magazines to their manager as well, which I let them do!
The very last photo I took was at the departure gate and a lady official (a bit grumpy looking) at the airport was asking me not to point the camera directly in the direction of the gate - but it was too late, as I had already taken one photo. In those days, it was not a digital camera, so I could not "delete" the photo!
When the "Arena" magazine came out later, I sent Silvia 3 copies of it by airmail as I recall (very heavy with supplements and expensive postage!). In fact, "Arena" wrote some nonsense about my meeting Silvia - but of course the magazine must have thought that was all good for spicing up the story!
Unfortunately, Juhani and Alexander do not seem to be about these days and messages to their e-mail addresses are returned as "not known".
In two of the above photos that I took at London Airport (Heathrow) on 13th July 2004, you can see Silvia speaking on my mobile phone to Forum member Alexander who telephoned me from Russia, as he read that I was going to the Airport to try to meet Silvia in time before she flew back to Prague. It was quite a rush to get there as I had originally been invited by Silvia to meet her at the photographic studio where she was doing the Arena photoshoot, but the magazine staff did not want me going there, but Martin in Prague saved the day by "texting" Silvia to let her know that I was going directly to the Airport (even that was "touch and go" as Silvia had apparently switched off her mobile phone at one time!).
When I arrived at the Airport and parked my car, I found Silvia immediately - she was standing at the bottom of the stairs as I came down from the Airport Car-Park at, I think, Terminal 2. Silvia had a white cap on and looked just like a young student. Later, when I was taking photos, I suggested Silvia might want to take her cap off but she said "I've destroyed my hair"!
Silvia told me that she was not entirely happy with Arena Magazine people and that they had just "dumped" her at the Airport without any escort to see her safely off - well, I did that instead, I guess.
In the Airport caféteria, we had juice and some desserts - Silvia didn't want a bigger meal. Silvia was very pleasant and patient with my requests. As mentioned, Silvia happily signed magazines, gave a short tape "interview", posed for photos (even with one of the café staff) and graciously accepted the note from Juhani in Canada that I had printed off, plus the Elvis Presley Dvd Boxset, as well as speaking in Russian with Alexander.
This meeting in July 2004 was just before any of us knew about Silvia's friend and co-star (The Academy, Dangerous Things 1 & 2, etc) Lea De Mae being struck down with her illness, which happened shortly after and as we know, Lea passed away only 5 months later. Whilst Lea's family got their memorial headstone finished which took a while, Lea's fans kept her grave covered in flowers and picture tributes. If you look in the "Remember me" Tribute topic in another part of our Forum, there have been nearly 146½ thousand visits to date.
I was just looking at the February postings and I see on Silvia's birthday (12th February) that I mentioned that there had been nearly 146½ thousand viewings on Lea's "Remember me" topic. Today, it had reached over 170,000 viewings, which is very nice to see that Lea is still being remembered 10¼ years on.
I haven't heard from Monica Sweetheart for some years now but my e-mails to Monica were being delivered until July 2013, when Monica must have ceased using her professional name e-mail. Daniela Rush's last e-mail was in January 2003 but a gift presentation of $300 from fans and a movie colleague was made to her in early September 2003 in Prague. In October 2004, a presentation of $1,000 from UK fans for the "medical fund" was sent to Lea by registered post in addition to other gifts from fellow artists (the first was Katja Kassin), director Frank Thring and a number of USA fans.
