David Letterman: Good Times
built 178 days ago
It's remarkable how little is known about David Letterman's personal life. Often people extract what they can from stray cameos in movies like Chris Elliot's Cabin Boy, where he played a sarcastic villager who calls Chris Elliot "Jennifer". In films like Man On The Moon and Private Parts, Letterman prefers to appear as himself. To this day he remains intensely private, but periodically leaks information during polite, intimate interviews. He has a fondness for old British films - actress Myrna Loy in particular - and tales of unrequited love. The original versions of Goodbye, Mr. Chips and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir reduce him to tears.

Ray would be arrested seven more times for Letterman-related antics before shifting the focus of her adoration to retired astronaut Story Musgrave. She banged on his front door at 5:30 in the morning, and then went around the house turning on all the water faucets. Weeks later, Margaret Ray committed suicide by kneeling in front of a train in Colorado.

Letterman's most famous stalker, Margaret Ray, was arrested several times for breaking into his house, stealing his car, and claiming to be his wife. After writing him hundreds of letters, she knelt in front of a freight train in 1998. He has had at least two other stalkers, and has bulletproof glass in his office window.

In March 2002, ABC tried to lure Letterman, whose contract was due to expire in August, to take over Ted Koppel's Nightline time slot. Letterman announced on his program March 11 that he would be staying at CBS. He not only turned down ABC, he took the opportunity to chide the network by lavishly praising Koppel.
