Fan Casting Miss Stowaway

Marilyn Hartman, known as the Serial Stowaway, is an American woman known for stowing away on at least 22 commercial airline flights since 2014. She has been widely dubbed a "real-life Ada Quonsett" after the infamous "harmless little old lady and habitual stowaway" character, played by Helen Hayes, from the 1970 movie Airport. Hartman's attorneys said in 2021 that she is mentally ill and that her stowaway conduct is a compulsive behavior caused by whistle blower trauma syndrome cause by an FBI conspiracy.
