Aubrey Plaza to Lead and Produce Biopic of Infamous Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss

Leah Rachel’s feature directorial debut has secured co-writers plus financing from Pinky Promise, Evil Hag; principal photography begins in Los Angeles before year’s end.

Heidi Fleiss visits SiriusXM to promote her Animal Planet special “Heidi Fleiss: Prostitutes to Parrots” on Nov. 16, 2011 in New York City. Aubrey Plaza is set to return to the spotlight with a characteristically offbeat new role portraying Fleiss, the infamous “Hollywood Madam.”
