Plot
Douglas Breen, a deranged young New York City record store clerk, writes a rambling letter to stage and film star Sally Ross, reading: "Dear Miss Ross, I am your greatest fan, because unlike the others, I want nothing from you. The only thing that matters to me is your happiness."
Sally's secretary, Belle Goldman, has been intercepting Douglas's numerous disturbed letters, responding herself and asking him to stop. Douglas feels ignored, and becomes determined to meet with Sally and consummate his "love" for her. Sally, meanwhile, is rehearsing for a major stage musical while also reconnecting with her ex-husband and fellow actor Jake Berman. After Belle receives another explicit letter from Douglas, she brings it to Sally's attention; Sally scolds her for being rude to her fans, and brushes it off, reasoning that she has dealt with similar types of fans before. After Douglas is fired from his record store job, he begins stalking Sally, sitting outside of her apartment building and following her to rehearsals. He decides to hand-deliver a letter to her while she is rehearsing for the musical, but watches the man at the studio give the letter to Belle, who he realizes has been responding to his letters. Douglas follows Belle into the subway and slashes her face with a razor. She survives the attack, but is hospitalized. When police press her for information, Belle cannot recall the return addresses written on the obsessive letters to Sally, and Sally informs them that she does not keep the fan mail she receives
