Regina Scott, who stands 6 feet tall and weighs almost 200 pounds, first surfaced on Halloween at New York’s Circle Repertory Theater, where Fishburne (“What’s Love Got To Do With It?”) was performing in the play “Riff Raff.” Dressed in a Playboy bunny costume, she threw candy onto the stage and yelled, “Trick or treat, Mr. Fishburne!”
A few days later, Scott interrupted a lecture Fishburne was giving to acting students at New York University and tried to give him flowers.
