Uma Fears for Children; Stalker Takes the Stand

0804thurmanuma.jpgFor her testimony against stalker Jack Jordan yesterday, The NY Times described Uma's appearance as being "pared-down," as she donned "a gray shawl thrown over black slacks and a black sweater. Her golden hair was carelessly knotted in back, with long strands hanging down both sides of her face. She wore no makeup and looked thin and hollow-eyed."

Thurman testified that she was "freaked out" by Jordan's contact with her (and her family), including an appearance on her Greenwich Village doorstep which resulted in an arrest. Detective Edward Yzaguirre testified that Jordan was found by officers smelling poorly and with "a pay stub and papers from the Atlantic Armory Shelter in Brooklyn and the city’s Department of Homeless Services." Yesterday, even though he didn't make eye contact with the starlet, he did splash on some cologne and pop a breath mint before entering the court room.

Though she talked about an email Jordan sent her which referred to "spending time in a cave with her mummified body," by the end of the day it was his references to her children that had her the most shaken up. The Daily News reports that he would refer to her daughter as an "illusion," and sent her an email saying "If a voice tells you to kill a child, maybe you should ignore it. Maybe? Maybe?"

Jordan takes the stand today, and has stated that he "was trying to meet her."

The Times article says that he was found living in his car, which smelled bad, not that he smelled bad (though that's a likely assumption).

Not picking on Ms. Thurman, but hasn't she always looked "thin and hollow-eyed"? This isn't a new development.

I think the most interesting parts of the Times article were the description of the creepy card sent by Mr. Jordan and the fact that the UChicago grad was taking graduate courses (I wonder where).

she's not attractive.

What? She couldn't make herself look attractive for her stalker? What a bitch!

It must be a slow news decade. I didn't realize stalkers of middling actresses skirting the B-List were such a hot topic for the front pages.
