I liked her in _The Commish_ and a B Movie she made with Jan Michael Vincent, _Defiance_. She lead a difficult life. Her stalker continued sending her threatening mail from prison. She had to appear at parole hearings to keep him locked up. At least she did out live that dude and had a few peaceful years without worrying about him anymore. She died pretty young. only 62 RIP > **[Theresa Saldana, actress in 'Raging Bull' and 'The Commish,' dead at 61](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-theresa-saldana-obit-20160607-snap-story.html)** > > Actress Theresa Saldana, known for movies including “Raging Bull” and nominated for a Golden Globe for her work on TV’s “The Commish,” has died after an illness, according to a family member. > **[Theresa Saldana | Actress](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0757854/)** > > Known for: The Commish, Raging Bull, I Wanna Hold Your Hand > [@](#): > > Although a prominent actress, Saldana was perhaps best known for surviving a knife attack by a disturbed fan outside her West Hollywood apartment in 1982 in which she was stabbed 10 times. The attack was among the earliest to bring attention to celebrity stalking and the fine line between being a fan and dangerous fanaticism.
