I read with interest Vanity Fair’s The Follieri Charade. Funny, this part is:
But if he wasn’t misleading people, Follieri clearly knew which props to use to create the right effects. The altar was one. The Filipino nun in full habit at the receptionist’s desk was another.
What are the chances that a Filipino is mentioned?
The story is twisted, with a smooth-talking Italian basically conning America’s rich and powerful and involving the Catholic Church all the way from the Vatican. She’s probably thinking she should just have gotten involved with a fellow actor. Now, the FBI are involved.
From reading the article, aside from the fact that this guy really conned his way, I’m guessing it’s the crappy way he treated his employees, the waiters, etc. that really did it for him.
Poor Anne Hathaway.
