Addie Morfoot Contributor In “Hollywood Con Queen,” director Chris Smith chronicles one of Hollywood’s most audacious scams that involved an impostor who posed as top entertainment studio executives to swindle aspiring artists. Based on the original reporting of entertainment journalist Scott Johnson, and his book, “Hollywood Con Queen: The Hunt for an Evil Genius,” the three-part Apple TV+ docuseries features first-hand accounts and insights from Johnson, private investigator Nicole Kotsianas, the alleged con artist, Hargobind Tahilramani, and his victims.

The understanding was that the victim would invoice Pascal after the “research trip” concluded.
Another victim in the series recounts how he was pursued by Doug Liman, who Tahilramani also allegedly impersonated, for a part in a movie starring Tom Cruise. Pretending to be Liman, Tahilramani instructed his victim to watch several films per day and write character analysis
