HEIDI FLEISS and IVAN NAGY - HEIDI IN THE CYCLE OF ABUSE

From Once More With Feeling by Jeanne Parrent (with author Bruce W. Cook), quoting Jennifer Young, the daughter of actor Gig Young.

"Heidi was a bright girl. She said she liked older men because younger ones weren't smart enough for her.  I'm not so sure she picked the best older man however.  Around the time she was breaking up with Bernie (Cornfeld), she met Ivan Nagy.  That was the real beginning of the Heidi Fleiss story."

OK, readers of Mistress Manifesto BlogSpot,  Let us pause here in Jennifer Young's testimonial about her old friend Heidi Fleiss.  To this point Heidi was not a prostitute.  She was a young woman obsessed with an older man who had not been faithful and who thought he had given her so much materially as his Mistress that she owed him but he broke her heart.  She might have even thought, as many women do when their man cheats on them (and let's them catch him in the act) that if only she were better in bed, then she could get him back.  She might have even thought, as some women do, that she would prove to him (and herself) that other men found her desirable by sleeping around.  Jennifer was also in a relationship in which she was being badly abused. Jennifer reveals that Heidi had also become pregnant by Bernie and had an abortion.  No doubt this effected her mind. (Pages 254-255 and 257)

Jennifer tells that Ivan was like Bernie (not exclusive with Heidi sexually) but that he wanted to "screw all of Heidi's friends."  So Heidi went from bad to worse.  They had heated arguments.  (Have you ever been entirely drained from Arguments?) Heidi packed up and left but bounced back to Bernie.  Jennifer reports that she could have bailed out on both men.  She was running hot and cold - sounds confused to me - and might have even slept with Jennifer's boyfriend.  (Page 255)

At some time unknown but during this time in her life Heidi became an "escort.  Bisexual Heidi was having sex with women too. And she was using drugs.

It was about 1988 when Heidi told Jennifer she was a Madam which explained her purchase of a black Corvette convertible car and new wealth. (Page 257)

FOR HEIDI and BERNIE IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT BUT...

From Once More With Feeling by Jeanne Parrent (with author Bruce W. Cook), quoting Jennifer Young, the daughter of actor Gig Young.  According to the book, Jennifer's father was not much in her life, especially as he commit suicide when she was fourteen.  She went to Beverly Hills High School and was a partier - sex and drugs.  Her mother became a successful realtor.  She and Heidi met at a club called Helena's owned by actor Jack Nicholson. They became instant best friends and eventually became room mates in 1985. Their friendship lasted about four years and began well before Heidi became the Hollywood Madam in 1988. (Pages 227, 251-251)

"When we first met Heidi was waitressing at Cravings Restaurant on Sunset."  They went to a big party attended by celebrities at Bernie Cornfeld's. It was Jennifer's invitation. "I introduced him to Heidi and the two of them fell head over heels for each other instantly."  Bernie owned a modeling agency called Max Modeling and Heidi began to work there as well as travel to Europe with him and the models.  "After a while Heidi moved into Bernie's house. Things seem to be going all right until one day she walked in on him having sex with another woman.  She was so upset that she tried killing herself, slitting her wrists."
(Page 253)

Revenge sex began.

"He yelled at Heidi, screaming about all he had done for her, about the car he gave her, the clothes, the house to live in. (Missy here, I think he means allowing her to live in his house with him.)  The opportunities and this was how she repaid him."  She just listened and didn't bother to mention his double standards when it came to fidelity. (Page 254)

It was as this drama was unfolding that Heidi began going between her dad's place and Bernie's and that she and Jennifer decided to become room mates.

We'll continue with this story in a future post.
