Former TV actress Heather Thomas was spotted in a rare outing in Los Angeles, years after she stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight. Thomas, 67, was seen smoking a cigarette while wearing white cutoff denim shorts and a camo-print T-shirt in photos shared by the Daily Mail.

'I was just getting so many stalkers,' Thomas told podcast host Steve Kmetko. 'I had tons of restraining orders. I had two little girls, and a guy's jumping our gate with a giant buck knife. In those days, I don't know if this is true now, but people would fixate. You could be in a soap commercial, and they would fixate on you.' She continued, 'There weren't a lot of stalker laws, and I just needed to be home anyway. Someone sent me a box of bullets, and people would send me funeral wreaths they stole from a graveyard.' The Red Blooded American Girl star also recalled one of the scariest moments that led to her shooting a man that broke into her house. 'I always had a bodyguard in the house because that's where I didn't want to come home to a dark house,' Thomas explained.
