Investigative journalist Scott Johnson has spent years tracking down the mysterious scam artist known as the Hollywood Con Queen, first in the Hollywood Reporter then in his own book and now as a consulting producer of the new AppleTV+ documentary series of the same name. The three-part series is about a scam artist who has been impersonating female executives from Hollywood in an attempt to lure actors and other victims with the promise of huge career opportunities. "It took up a good chunk of time and it was really interesting for me and eye-opening," he said recently. And if you know the story or had a chance to watch the doc, you'll agree.

I talked with Johnson about how he uncovered the scam and the intricacies of it all and what it was like when he confronted the con artist on the streets of Indonesia.
