WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 29 (UPI) -- Domino Harvey, a wealthy British-born socialite, supermodel-turned-U.S. bounty hunter facing federal drug charges, was found dead in her Hollywood bathtub. | Once again proving, we can't make this stuff up |
Harvey, 35, was pulled from the tub after police said a friend or relative called 911 to report a possible drowning.
The Los Angeles coroner was to perform toxicology tests Wednesday to see if drugs were involved. A spokesman for the coroner told The Times of London: "The hospital reported to us that they suspected a drug overdose."
Harvey was the daughter of Oscar-nominated actor Laurence Harvey. She became a Beverly Hills socialite and later launched a career as a supermodel in New York. She then startled everyone by becoming a professional bounty hunter. | Wasn't this the plot of a Pamela Anderson movie? |
She was arrested last month on federal drug charges, which carried a possible life sentence. | That would mean a major coke bust, but enough about Pamela Anderson... |
A movie about her life -- "Domino" -- has reportedly pushed back its U.S. release date from Aug. 19 to Nov. 4 to allow for updating, the report said. Keira Knightley stars in the wild action thriller "Domino," the latest project from director Tony Scott ("Man on Fire," "Beverly Hills Cop II," "True Romance"). A trademark Scott film, "Domino" presents an entertaining mix of gritty action, biting comedy and sharp visuals. The film tells the true story of Domino Harvey, daughter of legendary actor Laurence Harvey and a former Ford model who rejected her privileged Beverly Hills life to become a bounty hunter. Starring: Keira Knightley, Mena Suvari, Christopher Walken, Lucy Liu, Mickey Rourke, Macy Gray, Jacqueline Bisset, Edgar Ramirez, Mo'Nique, Shondrella Avery, Dabney Coleman, Delroy Lindo, Brian Austin Green
| Oh, it gets better, she's (well, was) a lesbian bounty hunter! From Feb: |
How bad can it be when Hollywood chooses Keira Knightley to portray you in a story inspired by your life? Well, model-turned-bounty-hunter Domino Harvey is unamused by the fact that in the movie, all of a sudden she's heterosexual. Harvey, a lesbian, "sees it as an insult that the producers are selling it as her life story, when they are completely overlooking what she regards as a pretty basic part of her life," a source says. "... She thinks it's ironic that so much of the publicity the film has attracted has been based on it's raunchy sex scenes." | "raunchy sex scenes"? Hello! |
| Raunchy lesbian sex and Christopher Walken in the same movie? Be still my beating heart! |
