Jodie Foster's experience with John Hinckley Jr.

During her freshman year at Yale, Jodie Foster was molested by a man named John Hinckley Jr. Hinckley developed an obsessive fixation on Jodie Foster after seeing the 1976 film Taxi Driver, in which a man plots to assassinate a contestant. In the film, Jodie Foster plays "Iris Steensma," a 12-year-old girl who is the subject of sex trafficking.

When Jodie Foster arrived at Yale, Hinckley briefly moved to New Haven, Connecticut to harass her. He sent Jodie Foster several love letters and romantic poems and repeatedly called and left messages. After being unable to establish meaningful communication with her, John Hinckley Jr. fantasized about hijacking a plane or committing suicide to get Foster's attention.

Eventually, Hinckley decided to impress Jodie Foster by murdering herpresidentShe figured if she did that, she would address Jodie Foster as an equal. Hinckley followed President Jimmy Carter from state to state and was later arrested in Tennessee on a gun charge. He received psychiatric treatment for his depression, but his mental health did not improve. He then began targeting President Ronald Reagan in 1981. He gathered information about the assassination of John F. Kennedy for guidance. Hinckley wrote Jodie Foster a note prior to her assassination attempt on Reagan.

The note said:

"In the last seven months I have left you dozens of poems, letters and love notes in the faint hope that you might develop an interest in me. Although we spoke on the phone a number of times, I never had the courage to approach you and introduce myself. The reason I'm continuing this endeavor now is because I can't wait any longer to impress you."

On March 30, 1981, John Hinckley Jr. shot President Ronald Reagan six times while he was entering the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. left disabled. Press Secretary James Brady. Brady died from gunshot wounds in 2014. After his trial, John Hinckley Jr. declared the shooting the greatest love offer in the world.
