Review of Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam (1995) by Robert I — 22 Jan 2013

In every generation, a madam goes down in flames. In my generation it was the Manhattan Madam, Kristin Davis. Before that it was this woman, Heidi Fleiss. This is a pretty good doc going into the shady underbelly of the LA prostitution system in the 80s and early 90s.

Now things are more careful thanks because of this scandal. But there's so many great interviews in this with genuinely scary people, all of them liars, backstabbers, and charmers. Basically, TRUST NO ONE! Be glad at least SOMEONE went to jail.

Of course, Heidi is a rich celebrity again. So, I guess the system works.
