My Take

Heidi Fleiss interests me less as a scandal and more as a case study in American reinvention. The Hollywood Madam of the early nineties could have vanished after her downfall; instead she kept narrating her own story — through television, columns, and business ventures — refusing to let the tabloids own the final draft. I do not romanticize what she did, and the era's hypocrisy is glaring: her clients' names stayed protected while she absorbed the punishment, an asymmetry that says as much about Hollywood as about her. What stays with me is her sheer durability, the stubborn insistence on surviving in public on her own terms.
