Quentin Tarantino was stalked by a "crazy" female fan while working on 'Pulp Fiction'.
The director was freaked out when an obsessed admirer sent him her own film in 1994 about a woman who picks up guys before brutally murdering them.
He told Empire magazine: "I have had a stalker. She wasn't bad looking but she was crazy, and you could see that odd rabbity look in her eye.
"I was doing the press for 'Pulp Fiction' and I got a phone call from a girl who sounded nice.
"You're in a strange city and a pretty girl calls at night. You think, 'Why not?'
"She called me up in every hotel in New York until she got me. When I left the city, she started calling my office 40 times a day.
"Then she sends me her film and it's about a girl who goes out, picks up guys and kills them. Then I got letters saying I stole her film and I had to put a stop to it after that."
Despite the unnerving experience, the 44-year-old filmmaker - who is known for the disturbing and violent content of his movies - admits he is not averse to using his fame to attract women.
He said: "To not get laid at some Hollywood parties you've got to be so unfamous that even you don't know who you are!" |
