From a young age she idolized Virginia Hill, the girlfriend of gangster Bugsy Siegel, and aspired to what she saw as a glamorous and exciting life. After a brief marriage to a furrier named Norman Brickman, she achieved her goal and then some, inserting herself into the lives of dozens of wiseguys--Italian mobsters were her preference--and becoming addicted to the rush of danger and lawlessness. But after years of violence, a brutal gang rape, and finally, threats against her daughter, she turned the tables on those who betrayed her and became a government informant, wearing a wire and ultimately becoming a major witness in the government's successful case against the Colombo crime family.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeresa Carpenter, editor of \u003ci\u003eNew York Diaries: 1609-2009, \u003c\/i\u003e is a former senior editor of the \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e where her articles on crime and the law won a Pulitzer Prize.
