A terrifed Uma Thurman shook and cried, “Look at this, look at this!” after an alleged stalker tried to force his way into her movie trailer during a SoHo film shoot, her wardrobe assistant told a Manhattan jury Monday. “Her hands were shaking, she was soaked,” Joseph La Corte testified in the stalking-and-harassment trial of lovesick fan Jack Jordan. “She couldn’t sit still. She didn’t want to get dressed.”
La Corte said two burly Teamsters prevented Jordan from barging into Thurman’s trailer in November 2005. La Corte then put the shaken actress into an SUV for the one-block ride to where she was filming “My Super Ex-Girlfriend.”
The film is about a spurned woman who stalks her boyfriend.
The 6-foot beauty is scheduled to testify today - her 38th birthday - along with family members in what the prosecution calls Jordan’s two-year campaign of “emotional blackmail.”
The University of Chicago literature grad even threatened suicide if she didn’t date him, Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Colleen Walsh told the court.
“Tell the defendant, ‘Enough is enough,’” Walsh declared. “The price of fame is not this.”
The prosecutor said Jordan also appeared at Thurman’s Greenwich Village home, where she lives with her two children, and rang her doorbell. One of Thurman’s employees came out and found him sitting on her steps, she said.
Earlier, Lisa Grondin, Thurman’s former personal assistant, told of the actress’s distress - even taking up smoking again - after receiving creepy postcards from Jordan.
In one note, Jordan, 37, wrote the “Kill Bill” actress: “My hands should be on your body at all times.”
“The contents made her nervous-scared,” Grondin testified.
Jordan’s lawyer, George Vomvolakis, said his client is a former mental patient. His actions may be creepy, but they are not criminal, the lawyer told the jury, adding that Jordan “does not think the way you and I think. He doesn’t know the boundaries you and I know. He thinks it’s romantic.”
