Jeff Goldblum: Obsessed Fan "Accosted" Me

Jeff GoldblumTMZ has learned that actor Jeff Goldblum has filed a restraining order against a 44-year-old woman, claiming that she has shown up to his house "unannounced and uninvited 20 times within the past month and over 50 times in the last three months."

In court documents, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Goldblum claims a woman named Linda Ransom has "sent harassing and threatening letters, stalked me at various locations, physically attacked my employee and accosted me."

According to the documents, Ransom met Goldblum at an acting school in Los Angeles where Goldblum teaches. She then began showing up at various locations where he performed with his jazz band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.

In a statement included in the court documents, Ransom claims she was just trying to get Goldblum to "support my efforts to complete my research and screenplay as accurate [sic] as possible."

32. Bravo to #24 comments. Even though Jeff is not what one would consider a "movie star" he does have talent and from what I understand he is very particular in what roles he accepts. I think its called integrity and I am looking forward to his new TV show.

And to those who make fun of his "stalker"...not so funny....really.

33. I love Jeff Goldblum, how can people say he's not famous??? He was in freakin Will & Grace, AND he was recently the 'bad guy' in that president movie with Robin Williams, so he HAS done recent work.... my friends are in a little band and they even wrote a song about him, which is pretty funny :P

36. Wow this is the first time I ever put a comment down after reading an article but after reading your comments I just had to write something to let you know how I feel. Well stalker is dangerous in any situation and if you people (who had something negitive to say) I dont think you want one. It sounds to me like you are some lonely miserable people and I feel ....sorry for you. And also you might get your facts straight Jeff Goldblum has a new series coming out in a couple of weeks can any of you say that?

37. 50 times in the last 3 months? Jeff Goldblum was far too kind and patient. I'd start calling police after a stern warning and say, 2 or 3 times. IMHO.

38. I hope Jeff and other celebs stay safe. Who wants an stalker? Not a good thing. Respectful Fans, a good thing. As for the comments in this place, I was more entertained by them, LOL!

39. My sister and I were at Katz's Deli in NYC- and Jeff Goldblum and a ladyfriend- walked passed us- Talk about STALKING- we had to RUN after him- his 1 stride to OUR 3.
We told hm that we were big fans, and our cousins are "The Baldwins" -Alec, Billy, Danny, Stephen- and that he had worked with them.
He was so gracious.
He even asked the lady he was with - take a pic of me and Sis.

I'd REALLY like to get in contact with him on an environmental issue- because- people here are using the line from "The Big Chill"- The Outdoors is a BIG TOILET."

We NEED him!

Just a clip from the movie- that's all we need.
If YOU have a way to get a hold of him- I think he may remember me.

Maybe not- but he has a big heart- He'll listen-
