I personally like to type all my LORs. Is that bad? I don't handwrite the "Dear NAME" field though, that is typed with their name. The first paragraph is everything I like about them (i.e. what I like the best about their work, the first thing I saw them, heard them in, etc) - If they read this part they would know it is not form as this is specific to them. The second paragraph is probably what you would call "form". This is where I request their autograph and state my intentions for their autograph. The last paragraph is the summary where I thank them for their time, reading my letter, and consideration for my request. I do handwrite my signature and any favorite quote or saying from them. I do try and keep each letter to a one page minimum.
I don't think that's bad, but I prefer to hand write letters myself. If the actor/writer/celebrity does get your letter and read it, they know you took both time and effort to write them. I've typed some letters, and it didn't feel right sending them off. I've been doing this hobby for over 15 years (off and on), and I find it's more fun and more personal to handwrite letters. Most of my successes from last year were with handwritten letters I've sent off.
Your mileage may vary though.

My first success ever (October '12) came from a typed letter (not a form letter, but yes, typed), a SAE (no stamps), and with no currency for postage (I didn't know things back then)
After that, I started writing my letters, and I find it much funnier and personal than typing them!

I thought Cobie Smulders signed VV a few years ago, now she doesn't apparently. I tried her via "Delivery Man" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" -- got nada from her.
I know someone got a TTM success from the whole HIMYM cast, but that was a rare one.

AMANDA SEYFRIED apparently doesn't sign anymore. Because of her "busy" schedule.

Who is Amanda Seyfried and what is she so busy doing? (A befitting deserved insult)
