Call Me: The Rise And Fall Of Heidi Fleiss
Jamie-Lynn DiScala stars as former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss in the two-hour USA Network Original Movie Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss.

Additional cast members include Robert Davi as Heidi's film industry boyfriend; Academy Award-winning actress Brenda Fricker as Heidi's mentor, Madame Alex; Emmanuelle Vaugier as one of Heidi's "girls;" Corbin Bernsen as one of Heidi's Hollywood clients; and Saul Rubinek as Heidi's father.

I thought that this was a rather cute and ingenious way of handling this material. Discala rocks. She is funny,but can hold her own in the dramatics category as well. I found this engaging and well written,when it could have been just cheap exploitative crap. What we have here is a brilliant look at the world's most famous call girl. Yes it is fictionalized in some areas, but all biopics are. This is good entertainment. If you want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, read court transcripts. If you want to enjoy yourself, watch this oneCall Me: The Rise And Fall Of Heidi Fleiss - jenfrp
Anyone who has actually read Heidi's book or knows anything about her, knows this movie is crap. The casting for Heidi was horrible and obvious that they needed a "name" to carry the film. The acting was mediocre all around. It was so sensationalized and it was pure fluff. Blah. What a waste of my time. If you want an accurate portrayal of what Heidi did and how it all went down, don't watch this movie.
