His attack was so fierce that the blade bent. Although there were many nearby onlookers, \u00a0the attack was only interrupted when delivery man Jeff Fenn intervened after hearing her cries, rushed from the second floor of an apartment building, and subdued Jackson.

He was then extradited to the United Kingdom in 1996 to be tried for a 1966 robbery and murder. Jackson (who once saw himself as &#8220;the benevolent angel of death&#8221;) was found not guilty by diminished responsibility in 1997 and committed to a British psychiatric hospital, where he died of heart failure in 2004 at age 68.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson&#8217;s method to find and approach Saldana-inspired stalker Robert John Bardo to hire a private investigator to contact Rebecca Schaeffer, a young actress whom he subsequently murdered, also in West Hollywood, in 1989.<\/p>\n<p>Following her long recovery, Saldana founded the Victims for Victims organization and participated in lobbying for the 1990 anti-stalking law and the 1994 Driver&#8217;s Privacy Protection Act, both of which came into being partly as a consequence of the attack. The experience also inspired Saldana to play herself in the television movie Victims for Victims: The Theresa Saldana Story, and she authored the book Beyond Survival, a memoir of her experiences after being attacked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theresa Saldana, who played Joe Pesci\u2019s wife in the Martin Scorsese film \u201cRaging Bull\u201d and, in a 1984 television movie, re-lived a near-fatal knife attack she experienced at the hands of a stalker, died on Monday in Los Angeles.
