Los Angeles, Jan 16: Notorious Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss has sealed a deal to turn her life story into a movie in which film star Nicole Kidman could play the lead role, the industry press has said.
Fleiss, whose now infamous "Black Book" of clients of her high-class call girls contained the phone numbers of a quiver of stars, sold the rights of her story to paramount pictures which will produce the film titled "pay the girl." "This should be like 'pretty woman,' but with the visual energy and excess of 'scarface," Fleiss told the entertainment industry bible daily variety yesterday. All of the madam movies have been like B-level porn or they've been boring," she said. "The world I was living in was not boring."
The prospect of 35-year-old Australian beauty Kidman playing Fleiss in the movie was "a major enticement" to selling the rights to her fascinating story, Fleiss said.
Fleiss' dramatic arrest in 1995 sent major shockwaves through Hollywood as top entertainment industry figures reportedly braced for potentially humiliating revelations as light was thrown on the madam's client list.
While the identities of the men on her star-studded client list became a hotly-debated topic in Tinseltown, only that of movie actor Charlie sheen emerged as Fleiss has remained silent on the subject.
Fleiss, who was convicted on charges of attempted pandering, money laundering and tax evasion, served 20 months of a 37-month sentence and was released in 1998.
