Heidi Fleiss Once Ran a Notorious Prostitution Ring in L.A. Now She Just Wants to Save the Birds (Exclusive)

Heidi Fleiss was arrested in 1993 for running a high-end prostitution ring. Now that she's out of the sex business, she's leaning into her new passion: Parrots.

Heidi Fleiss's life today looks decidedly different than what it did 30 years ago when she was the notorious Hollywood Madam running a high-end prostitution ring in Los Angeles. At the time, she was living the high life, making up to $100,000 a night wrangling sex workers for some of the richest and most powerful men in the world. Fleiss, 58, who spent 20 months in prison for tax evasion in 1994, has devoted the past decade of her life freeing caged parrots from captivity and letting them live on her Nevada property.
