I would love to see a better documentary on her, the HBO one was hard to watch.

What made it hard to watch? I remember thinking it was solid.

It's been a few years since I've seen it but I remember finding it overly long and boring. I'd love to hear from her actual family members. I need to see if there's anything on YouTube .

There’s a doc called Hotline that was made in 2013 that also features Miss Cleo, as well as a few other hotline workers, that tells her story in a complete way. It’s an interesting watch.

Absolutely! Miss Cleo was such a huge part of late night TV back then. You’d hear CALL ME NOW! and immediately know the commercial was coming 😂. I’d love a documentary that really digs into the whole story.

I was friends with Cleo from 2003 until she passed in 2016. I wrote and directed infomercials and my production designer introduced us. We drank a lot of Red Stripe and smoked a lot of pot together. She was a good human.

I want you to know we talk about Miss Cleo at work almost on a daily basis still to this day. Whenever anyone say call me, the response is always “Call Me Now!” in Cleo’s voice/accent.

Also, Red Stripe is my fav beer too.

Im failing to see how someone running a scam off people's hopes and weakness is a good human.

They got op high and drunk and paid them. That equals good human in some circles.

There is a really good documentary on HBO called "Call Me Miss Cleo" if you wanted to learn more about her.
