Kylie Rogers - A secret they don't want you to know.

So Kylie Rogers is like the kid in this movie right. So her family is often on Twitter wanting you to watch her movies and follow her. In short, they want you to spend your money to watch this movie. Nothing wrong with that. If I had a financial interest in this movie I would want that as well.

Now Kylie isn't your average kid. She was making $20,000 per episode on "The Whispers" back in 2014. That's pretty good money but that ONLY happens because of fans. Without fan support the entertainment business would cease to exist. So in short, she's doing pretty well for herself.

So you would think someone in her position would be grateful and appreciate the support her fans have given her. Wrong! We asked her through her agency(to maintain her privacy) to autograph a picture for us via the mail. Once again maintaining her privacy. She only had to sign her name in the privacy and comfort of her own home and when it was convenient for her to do so. A picture, and a return envelope with postage was provided. It would have cost her nothing. All she had to do is sign her name.

Some say it's just an autograph big deal. Well, an autograph is a gift a celebrity gives to a fan to show they appreciate their support. Few people in this world have the opportunity to make someone happy simply by signing their name. What does that say about Kylie Rogers' family?

3 more points for the Kylie Rogers' family supporters.

1)The autograph was asked to be personalized. You can't resell an autograph personalized to someone else.
2)Kylie is not a huge star where she would be flooded with autograph request. From her tweets on twitter she has plenty of free time.
3)All e-mails to her agency were ignored. When asked about this on Twitter her family ignored the tweets and quickly blocked the account.

All this coming from someone who is starring in a religious based movie. SMH.

Sorry about your experience, I had something similar occur with someone I admired. I ended up meeting them and the experience was really disappointing and they had a very negative attitude; The nice way to sum it up is people suck and more than not will let you down if you expect anything no matter how simple it may be.

[–] hanging-lantern 8 years ago

Sorry to hear. I'm sure it's rather sad when you come to the realization that Kylie's family doesn't even want your fan mail. Yet there are people who would argue Kylie loves her fans and appreciates all the support. Really? By taking a fan letter written especially for her and then tossing it in the garbage?

I'm sorry the TRUTH about Kylie Rogers and family upsets you. I'm sure it's a big disappointment to learn that Kylie isn't the person you thought she was.

If IMDB decides to delete factual indisputable proof that's on them.

Child star? No...

A child star has a recognizable name in the mainstream, not just one stream. So, comparing her to Dakota Fanning or Jodie Sweetin is laughable.

Also, she's only known to Christians who want to believe her story is true. The happenings may be true (the actual things that can be proved) but the mystical/spiritual part cannot be. Not by her, not by you, not by me, not by anyone. Christians believe it based on FAITH, and FAITH is the absence of evidence. If you could prove it, then, you have no FAITH. Bible tells you you must believe based on FAITH. (R 1:17, good example)

I am on the road less traveled...

Look up Jodie Sweetin, Dakota Fanning as Child Star.

At fairieskys:

I'm not sure what your point is in regards to Dakota Fanning and signing autographs. Unlike Kylie, Dakota is one of the best signers in the business. She's been signing autographs since she was 5 or so and continues to do so to this day.

[–] artcurus-1 8 years ago

Nammage,

Not true. Kylie has a tendency to be in things that are oddball or arthouse style films. Her biggest well known role to date is The Whispers. She's an unbelievable actress that can run circles around Dakota in terms of pure talent.

She received third billing on the Miracles from Heaven poster, which is rightly so, she's one of the main characters. When Jodie Foster did Nim's Island, she gave up her first billing on the poster so that Abigail Breslin could have it, Jody said it was Abigail's movie. 11 year old Isabelle Furham received third billing on the poster from 2009's Orphan. See a pattern here? This is actually a pretty big deal.

Well, that's your opinion and I'm sure many would disagree but here is what I can tell you about the Fannings. Unlike the Rogers, Dakota and Elle were taught at an earlier age that fans matter and without fans they wouldn't be enjoying the lifestyle they have. Over the years both have signed through the mail thousands (yes I said thousands) of autographs for fans all over the world. I'm sure there were times they didn't feel like it but they did so nevertheless and I have the upmost respect for them for doing so.

What a great line this is from the OP.

Few people in this world have the opportunity to make someone happy simply by signing their name.

It's too bad the Rogers don't get that.

Agreed, in fact I have her autograph from 2003 or 4.

However, this is where the differences come up. Dakota was always very professional, and when she does a role, there's no question it's going to be done well, and by the book. Dakota deserved every award that she's gotten, no doubt about it.

The problem is that this can get in the way of the true character.

When the movie Orphan came out in 2009. There was a debate about how Dakota would have played Esther, who was a homicidal 33 year old woman who was roughly the size of a nine year old girl. The actress that played Esther, Isabelle Furhman was 11 when she filmed it, nailed it. Isabelle loved Esther as a character, and it showed in her performance. There were small details that shined through, such when Kate, the mother, crashed into the house toward the end of the movie. At this point, Esther was stalking the house, and when she heard the car come through the window, she gave this crazy little smile that said "PARTYTIME!" Dakota would taken note of the sound, stone cold faced, and gone back to stalking the house like a professional.

There's no doubt that Dakota's Esther would have been the stuff of nightmares, very chilling. However, it was Isabelle that made Esther come to life and gave her a personality.

Make sense?

A couple of years in obscurity once she stops getting roles oughtta fix that right up.

What does this say about you that you that feel entitled to anything? Maybe she didn't get the message. Maybe her family is being overly protective about a young child and is trying to keep her away from people who seem more than a little stalkerish and crazy. Who knows? You are entitled to nothing. If she doesn't give you an autograph, live with it and move on. Don't want to watch her in anything because of her actions then don't. Try to focus on things in your life that may be less stressful to you.

You are entitled to nothing

I love how people try to point out fans aren't entitled to anything. Who do you think pays for the enormous salaries celebrities make? Nobody in the entertainment business would exist without fan support. Care to dispute that?

And from a financial point of view I'm sure the people who made "Miracles from Heaven" are just thrilled how the Rogers are treating paying and/or potential paying customers and YOUR short sighted suggestion that we should just avoid their movie because Kylie is too lazy to take a few seconds to sign a few autographs. Your talents are really being wasted posting to this forum. I'm sure Hollywood would hire you in a second in their public relations department.

I think you could argue she is contractually obligated to help promote the movie. She certainly is getting paid a lot of money to do interviews, attend the premieres, etc.

To then turn around and say no to fans wanting her autograph is a bit baffling to me. She should be thankful that people would want her autograph.

If I was a person of importance in this movie I would straighten that bad attitude out in a heart beat.

Paul Newman never signed autographs either. It's a choice, completely up to the individual celebrity, as to sign or not sign autographs. If this troubles you, don't go to her films. End of story.

To compare Paul Newman to Kylie Rogers is laughable. To say Paul Newman NEVER signed autographs in his life is equally as laughable.

[–] Captain_Augustus_McCrae 8 years ago

No comparison was made, just an observation. And your abrasive demeanor, accompanied by your apparently willful ignorance is well, laughable.

Ignorance...do a search on Google for Paul Newman's autographs and see who is the ignorant one. You pop into a thread. Make a false statement and get bend out of shape when someone calls you on it.

[–] true-facts 8 years ago

Captain_Augustus_McCrae you are wrong. If you would have done a little research before posting you would know this.

I'm sure as he became more famous he could no longer keep up with the demand and yes I've seen comments P Newman has made regarding autographs. But to say he "never" signed is wrong.

There is a big difference in signing autographs in public as opposed to signing autographs through the mail in the privacy and comfort of your own home and at your convenience. As stated in my original post Kylie was sent fan mail through her agency. Her privacy was never jeopardized.

Another point I would like to make regarding my initial post. We asked her agency BEFORE we wrote to her asking if we had the correct address and if she signed autographs. We were told "correct".

So yes, it's frustrating to then write to her and never hear anything back.

I've never said to boycott her movies as that would effect innocent people involved in that movie. I do say don't write to her looking for an autograph. Unless she changes her mind you are going to be disappointed like I was.

Dead wrong, This guy is a joke and so is Kylie Rogers.
