10 Insane Things Movie Fans Did For Their Favourite Actors
9. Woman In Love With Michael Douglas Threatens To Kill His Wife
It's perfectly okay to be fixated on an actor or actress, as long as you're not creepy about it. But doing what Michael Douglas superfan Dawnette Knight did? No. No no no no no. NO.
Over many months between 2003 and 2004, Knight - who was infatuated with the Wall Street and Romancing The Stone actor - sent multiple violent threats to Douglas' wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who began suffering from nervous breakdowns as a result.
Within these threats, Knight reportedly stated that she'd kill Zeta-Jones and "feed her to the dogs", all because she wanted to be with Douglas. Knight even stood in court and falsely stated that she'd had an affair with him - and that he gave her money - as an attempt to justify her actions.
Douglas, of course, denied these allegations, and in response to the threats she received, Zeta-Jones called Knight "evil", telling the criminal that "you have profoundly affected me in how I conduct my life."
In the end, Knight was sentenced to jail for three years, though she did apologise to Zeta-Jones and expressed regret over her actions - not that that excuses them.
