Heather Thomas<\/a><\/strong>, 68, was one of the most popular TV and film actresses of the 1980s, starring opposite Lee Majors<\/a><\/strong> in ABC\u2019s Fall Guy. The stunning blonde all but disappeared from the limelight after leaving the hit show, despite the show launching her into worldwide fame. In a reshared clip from her March 2025 interview with entertainment journalist Steve Kmetko<\/a><\/strong> on his I’mStill Here Hollywood podcast, Thomas sheds new light on the terrifying reason she opted out of Hollywood at the height of her success.<\/p>\n Thomas spoke to Kmetko in March, but the journalist re-shared the revealing and important conversation with the \u201980s icon.<\/p>\n \u201cI was just getting so many stalkers,\u201d she explained. \u201c… really bad, really bad. At least two a week. I had tons of restraining orders out. God, I had two little girls, and a guy\u2019s jumping out of my gate with a giant buck knife. And yeah, in those days\u2014I don\u2019t know if this is true now\u2014people would fixate. You could be in a soap commercial, and they would fixate on you.\u201d<\/p>\n Thomas went on to explain one particularly scary incident.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember someone sent me a box of bullets, you know, and people would send me like funeral rites they stole from a graveyard. There were a lot of psychos. I always had a bodyguard in the house because I didn\u2019t want to come home to a dark house. And I know I had one guy one night cut my screen in my bedroom and got in, and I shot him\u2026 with rock salt and bird shot.\u201d<\/p>\n The actress then reveals that it took a few years after leaving Fall Guy for the stalking incidents to stop. Now, the actress still likes to do a few small projects a year.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll do like a Sundance film or every now and then,\u201d she said, before revealing she was mostly able to protect her two young daughters from knowing what she was dealing with.<\/p>\n \u201cI never knew that,\u201d shared one fan. \u201cPoor woman having to go through that.\u201d<\/p>\n Another added, \u201cTerrible to hear what she had to deal with behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n Thomas also revealed she\u2019s only talked about the subject a few times and has mostly dealt with the terrifying issue privately.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfacSIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a>\ud83c\udfac<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 10, 2025, where it first appeared in the Celebs<\/a> section.
