Pepi Treitl from Vienna has more than A Million Photos with Autographs
Pepi Treitl from Vienna is a millionaire, not in case of money, but her concerns photos, but only very particular ones. The 58 year old Austrian followed up the prominence of stage and film , on composers, singers and everything that belongs to the concept of 'actors'. 1928 he started to collect (Marlene Dietrich was one of the first stars, who signed a picture, which was given to her from the little boy), -today Treitl owns more than a million photographs of actors of actors with their autographs. The eldest picture in his collection is signed by Johann Straub (in our picture above), the million picture with dedication he got from Roger Whittaker (in our picture below). The most wonderful experience, Pepi, who fetches his pictures self, remembers, was to ride his bicycle from Vienna to Paris, and there he went to Brigitte Bardot: the most famous export-article of France. She has been so inspired of Pepi, so she invites him to stay for a few days. Not the collection-millionaire wanted to score to be written into the book of records.
