Is Heidi Fleiss German American? The name Heidi plus the last name Fleiss make this seem very likely.

She's Jewish. I don't know where her ancestors where from, maybe Germany, maybe elsewhere in Europe.

Yes I do believe she is indeed Jewish. I remember reading it in some article. Manic Hispanic 01:57, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Credibility of Sources

When talking about whether she had "serviced" Marlon Brando it shows a scan of the tabloid The Globe. Is that really a suitable source for such an accusation?Wangfoo 04:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I came to the talk page to see if there was already some discussion about it. I'm removing the text because The Globe, as a tabloid, is clearly not a credible source. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] That's not a picture of Heidi Fleiss

Thats a picture of Jamie-Lynn Siegler who played her in a movie. Jamie-Lynn Siegler is better known as Meadow Soprano from HBO's The Sopranos.

[edit] Removal of category

[WP:BLP] states that

Category names do not carry disclaimers or modifiers, so the case for the category must be made clear in the article text. The article must state the facts that result in the use of the category tag and these facts must be sourced.

Category tags regarding religious beliefs and sexual preference should not be used unless two criteria are met:

• The subject publicly self-identifies with the belief or preference in question
• The subject's beliefs or sexual preferences are relevant to the subject's notable activities or public life

Category tags that do not meet these criteria (i.e. case must be made in article text, subject must publicly self-identify with beliefs, beliefs must be relevant) will be deleted. Notmyrealname 18:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
