Aubrey Plaza to Produce and Star in Heidi Fleiss Biopic

Leah Rachel is set to make her directorial debut on the pre-production project with filming slated for late 2025 in Los Angeles.

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.”
