The first time Ruth Ann Steinhagen laid eyes on Eddie Waitkus she fell in love with him. In 1946, Eddie was the Chicago Cubs first-baseman. Sixteen-year-old Ruth Ann began going to Cubs games with friends. After collecting hundreds of newspaper pictures and articles, she built a shrine to him in her bedroom and often set an extra place at the dinner table for him.

When Eddie was traded to the Phillies in 1948, Ruth Ann cried and said she didn't want to live. Annoyed that her parents sent her to a psychiatrist, the 19-year-old got her own apartment.

Knowing the Phillies would play the Cubs in Chicago in June 1949, she decided it was time to meet Eddie. She reserved a room under the name Ruth Ann Burns at the hotel where the Phillies would be staying.

She also bought a rifle at a pawnshop.

Dawnette Knight was obsessed with Michael Douglas. She claims to have met the actor in 2002 at a party in Florida. She knew Douglas was married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, and she didn't like it.

Zeta-Jones, who won an Oscar in 2003 for her role in "Chicago," became her hated enemy. Between 2003 and 2004, Knight sent 19 threatening letters to Zeta-Jones describing what would happen to her. One said: "We are going to slice her up like meat on a bone and feed her to the dogs."
