The 'CSI' Franchise Case File: A Divorce for Catherine, A Locked Up Stalker For Horatio
So here begins another attempt to get everyone up to date with what's up with the stars of the entire CSI franchise—yes, all three shows, from Las Vegas to Miami to New York—in one fell swoop. Here's hoping it becomes a regular thing. Anyhow, let's get to business. Two stories this week: one about CSI's Marg Helgenberger filing a divorce, and another about CSI: Miami's David Caruso getting rid of an alleged stalker. (Horatio's got stalkers? Okay, I should stop kidding.)
Item one: Helgenberger files for a divorce. The actress playing Catherine Willows in the original series has filed for divorce with her husband, Alan Rosenberg. Now, if his name sounds familiar, it's because he's currently the president of the Screen Actors Guild, the group of actors currently embroiled in negotiations with Hollywood producers over a new contract. Not to mention he's also acted in television series such as LA Law and The Guardian.
The couple separated late last year, but no reason was disclosed then. Now, Helgenberger has officially filed for a divorce in a court in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. They got married in 1989 and have a son together.
Item two: Caruso gets rid of a stalker. An Austrian woman accused of stalking the CSI: Miami star was arrested in Mexico and was deported back to her homeland. The woman, whose identity authorities refuse to reveal—they're only letting slip that she is in her early 40s—allegedly sent more than a hundred letters to Caruso, until she went after him in pursuit of an autograph. When he refused to give her one, she started to send death threats.
The woman was charged with stalking and threatening to kill the actor, but twice failed to show up for trials held in the Austrian town of Innsbruck. She was arrested in Mexico a few weeks ago because of immigration violations, and was swiftly deported to her country. It is yet unknown when a new trial will be set, but if convicted, the woman—who apparently has a “profound personality disorder,” according to a court-appointed psychologist—could spend up to three years behind bars.
It's no laughing matter, but I can't help imagine Horatio's smirk when the suspect gets locked up.
