'Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal' Sneak Preview (video)

Once upon a time, Heidi Fleiss had a dream: to make millions of dollars running a high-priced escort service in Hollywood. Ten years and one jail sentence after that dream died, she had another one: to open the first and only legal brothel catering exclusively to women, filled with a stable of studs willing and eager to satisfy every girl’s fantasies. Can Fleiss find happiness and newfound riches in a state where prostitution is actually legal? Not if her new neighbors in Nevada have anything to do with it.

Heidi Fleiss embraces all of the titles thrown at her, and while I would not want her on the local school board or city council, I do admit a somewhat perverse attraction to who this person is………what is her thought process, her articulation, her assumptions about what drives her. In previous articles, I have read about her childhood, which seems very much like it might have been written by Augustin Burroughs. I’m not responsible for passing judgment on her, just exercising the opportunity to view the parts that contribute to the sum total of this force of?? I don’t know. Also, I watched the Roman Polanski documentary, which I did not feel,in any way, paid homage to the man, but rather followed the series of events which led him to his circumstances. Realizing that the documentary format is subjective by means of what it puts in and what it leaves out, I saw no monster in Roman Polanski, nor a hero…a man caught up in a life:his. Thank you for the caliber of work you bring to viewers, Sheila Nevins…stories to be told, insight into the famous as well as the infamous. Peace and grace

After seeing the video I have to say the woman looks to be in not the best health. How old is she? Does she have family?

Are you women (who made these comments) afraid of looking at the real world? Real life is not always so pretty….but it sure is fascinating!
