  • Mother of Uma Thurman Stalker Issues a Plea for Understanding

    Anemona Hartocollis interviews the mother of Jack Jordan, the man convicted last week of stalking Uma Thurman. Beth Jordan, 64, met her husband, Thomas, a nuclear physicist, almost fifty years ago in Baltimore. They had nine children, including two that were still born; Jack was raised as "the fifth of eight", including "his sister's child, being raised by their parents" in their Maryland home. School friends remember Jack Jordan as popular, funny, and charismatic. “His entire life he’s been called perfect," recalls his mother. "He was like a golden, beautiful boy-man." But he went through a radical change when he was 25. He underwent a physical transformation losing weight after switching to a vegan diet; a University of Chicago pre-med student who aspired to become a neurosurgeon before abandoning his studies, he started working exclusively at menial jobs; and then there were the "hallucinations that he was talking to Jesus and Muhammad." Before that, Mrs. Jordan thought there was something wrong with her son, as he began to withdraw and lose his competitive nature and seem to starve himself.

  • Screengrab Writer Was Nowhere Near New York At The Time

    No one likes a celebrity stalker story, but speaking personally, I am particularly outraged by the unfolding story of 37-year-old Jack Jordan, who is currently on trial for harrassing Uma Thurman by sending her bizarre letter and menacing doodles, breaking into her trailer, and generally acting all creepy around the Kill Bill star.  Hey, pal, not only is stalking Uma Thurman evil and wrong, it's supposed to be my job.  I haven't invested 20 years of my life on this celebrity crush just to have some punk like you steal my thunder.

    The Jack Jordan story is filled with icky little details, such as the Henry Darger-esque clippings he left in Thurman's trailer during the filming of My Super Ex-Girlfriend (Uma Thurman stalker tip:  a better thing to leave in her trailer would be a note imploring her to pick better scripts), the stick-figure drawings of himself giggling and leaping off a razor blade into a grave (Uma Thurman stalker tip:  hire a professional illustrator), and the midguidedly tender notes reading "If you think you love me, then how sad that your kids and you and me would have to spend another holiday apart.  Now it's the end of September and I live in my car." (Uma Thurman stalker tip:  it's never a good opening gambit, with any woman, to mention that you live in your car.)
