Hi, I was watching Ball of Fire, and saw the note that Jane had hidden inside his desk that Van Pelt found. The writing looks similar again to Robin's. Maybe she had the prettiest handwriting so she was the note writer on TM. That is so cool, the extras that Robin and Simon did in the background for the show.
Just finished my own rewatch of Ball Of Fire and took a screencap of the note. After some research and comparing, I’m pretty sure that Simon Baker wrote it - not Robin Tunney.
Here are some pics that “prove” it, I think:
This is, to me, the same handwriting and it’s Simon’s. Pay special attention to the letter S which is pretty distinct and matches both in the note from Ball Of Fire, in Jane’s terms in My Blue Heaven, and in his “Red-John-handshake-notebook” which we see in Black Cherry. Same goes for the Ts and Ms, IMO.
Another “piece of evidence” would be the marriage licenses in White Orchids which Baker filled out - all of them, as a matter of fact, not just the one pertaining Jane’s and Lisbon’s wedding.
It’s maybe a little harder to see the similarities because he only used capitals in on of them, but again: the letter S is a dead give-away to me. And if you compare it with other stuff that we’ve seen Simon/Jane write, it gets more obvious that everything was written by Baker, though sometimes he used cursive, sometimes he printed, sometimes it’s kind of a mixture between both, which makes it a tad difficult to keep track, like with the note to Lisbon in Green Light:
or the letter to Lisbon in My Blue Heaven:
or the note in The Silver Briefcase:
Now, to get back to your assumption that Robin Tunney wrote that note in Ball Of Fire. Let’s take a look at her handwriting compared to it:
I really don’t think, they match. Robin’s letters lean backwards, and especially the S, the M, and the P aren’t from the same hand IMO.
But I’m not a graphologist - so everything I’ve said is speculation, of course, and I could easily be wrong.
I agree that it’s always nice to see all the little things Simon and Robin did for the show in the background. Though I admit that I found quite sloppy TBH, that Simon filled out ALL of the marriage licenses that “Lazarus” checked out at that office in White Orchids. Because Baker can’t possibly have been the only one capable of writing on set. And those forms were actually pretty visible in the episode and it would’ve been very easy to make this small detail more convincing by using different people’s handwritings. Sometimes I don’t notice that stuff, but often I do and it can irritate me. Just me…
Thank you so much for chiming in and making me take this wonderful trip down memory lane and “compare notes” (yes - pun intended… ;-) )! I had fun doing this “research” and I hope, you enjoy the results too - even if I couldn’t confirm your theory, my dear. Wish you a pleasant day!
