LOCAL : Actor Fox Wedding Brings Threats

Michael J. Fox received 5,000 threatening letters from a woman who was upset he got married, a district attorney investigator said today. The woman suspected of writing the letters, Tina Marie Ledbetter, 26, was arrested in Westlake Village last week but was released after she posted $100,000 bail, investigator Gary Schram said.

Fox, 27, who won two Emmys for his portrayal of the insufferable conservative son of liberal parents on the NBC series “Family Ties,” married his former co-star on the show, actress Tracy Pollan, last July. Fox began receiving unsigned letters last February, said Al Albergate, spokesman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. “The letters threatened the lives of Fox, his wife and their yet-to-be-born child,” Albergate said.
