Heidi Lynne Fleiss, known as the "Hollywood Madam", is a former American madam. She was convicted in connection with her prostitution ring with charges including pandering and tax evasion. Her ring had numerous famous and wealthy clients. She was sentenced to 37 months in prison for tax evasion, but served just 21.

Her father, Doctor Paul M. Fleiss is a famous Intactivist (one who opposes circumcision). He was convicted of money laundering in connection with the sex crimes of his daughter, and sentenced to one day in prison, three years of probation and 625 hours of community service.

In 1995, Nick Broomfield made a documentary about her ring called Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam. In 2004, a made-for-TV movie was produced called Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss, in which Fleiss was portrayed by actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

In 2003, Fleiss accused her ex-boyfriend, actor Tom Sizemore, of domestic violence and other threatening behavior. Sizemore was convicted by a California jury of domestic violence, making criminal threats, and making obscene phone calls.

In 2004, she sold the rights to her story to Paramount Pictures for $5 million. She is the owner of the West Hollywood boutique "Hollywood Madam".

She resides in Crystal, Nevada.

Fleiss is currently featured in Maxim Magazine's "Ask Heidi".

Fleiss has also recently announced plans to open a brothel in Pahrump, Nevada called "Heidi Fleiss' Stud Farm."

Fleiss has reportedly opened up a laundromat named "dirty laundry" as her other plans to open a brothel have been put on hold due to a 'slight complication'.
