    Phil Hartman's third wife Brynn Hartman wrote a vitriol-filled letter to his second wife Lisa Strain
    Strain had written the couple a card congratulating them on the birth of their first child
    Brynn threatened Strain's life and said if she contacted her again, she'd 'rip [her] eyes out'   
    Ten years after she sent the letter to Strain, Brynn shot Phil Hartman dead as he slept
    She shot herself dead shortly after

I remember when this happened. i was truly heartbroken. Hartman was a funny talented man.

What a strange situation that was. I don't suppose Phil knew what a nutcase she was when he married her.

I don't know, but she had problems with drugs and alcohol during the marriage.
