Heidi Fleiss: Free at Last
Fleiss, once the model of bad behavior, flew to freedom on an early-release pass for, whaddya know?, good behavior. She was to serve a 37-month federal sentence for conspiracy, tax evasion and money laundering.
Last December, Fleiss asked to go back to prison after a stint in a transitional Los Angeles halfway house didn't meet to her liking.
Fleiss, now 33, was arrested in 1995 for running a call-girl ring catering to Hollywood's elite, including actor/poet Charlie Sheen and the late überproducer Don Simpson (Top Gun). Conviction and sentencing followed in 1997.
If sex was her trade, it wasn't her obsession--at least according to British filmmaker Nick Broomfield, who made the 1996 documentary, Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam.
"She used to say, 'Sex is overrated. I can't understand what the fuck they're going on about,' " Broomfield once told the Village Voice.
While the names in the Fleiss' "black book" were never officially revealed, some of the who's-whos did dribble out during trial and in subsequent tell-all Hollywood books, including those of Sheen and Simpson. Because life's a terribly fair thing, none of her male clients were ever prosecuted.
No word yet on Fleiss' future, although the nunnery seems remote. Her lawyer said she wouldn't have any comment until after she returned to Los Angeles and consulted with legal advisers.
