About Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam
Nick Broomfield wonders who's telling the truth, as he uncovers a nest of secrets and lies surrounding notorious Hollywood madam, Heidi Fleiss.
In 1993, the director set off to interview Heidi. How did an apparently well-adjusted, middle-class teenager, the daughter of a Beverly Hills doctor, get sucked into such a life?
However, during pre-production, Fleiss was convicted of pandering and sentenced to three years in prison, during which time she was also charged with money laundering and tax evasion.
Broomfield was thus obliged to seek out anyone with connections to her, and Hollywood Madam chronicles his efforts between Fleiss's June 1993 arrest and her trial in May 1995.
