| The Story Of The Man Who Tried To Kill Reagan, John Hinckley Jr. |
Hinckley became obsessed with the 1976 film Taxi Driver, in which disturbed protagonist plots to assassinate a presidential candidate. He developed an infatuation with Jodie Foster, who played a sexually trafficked 12-year-old child in the film. When Foster entered Yale University, Hinckley moved to New Haven, Connecticut, for a short time to stalk her. There, he slipped poems and messages under Foster's door, asking for "respect and love".[1]
Failing to develop any meaningful contact with the actress, he fantasized about conducting an aircraft hijacking or committing suicide in front of her to get her attention. Eventually, he settled on a scheme to impress her by assassinating the president, thinking that by achieving a place in history, he would appeal to her as an equal.
