Ashley Dupre may be Eliot Spitzer's most famous hooker, but tshe wasn't his favorite.That is just one of the revelations in Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney’s new documentary “Client Nine: The Rise & Fall of Eliot Spitzer,” which explores the events surrounding his scandalous hookups with prostitutes and subsequent resignation from the New York governorship.
According to the film, Ashley Dupre’s highly publicized “relationship” with Eliot Spitzer was actually nothing more than a two-hour rendezvous in a D.C hotel room.
His real “connection,” if you will, was with another escort who calls herself “Angelina,” who Spitzer saw repeatedly. Angelina agreed to talk to Gibney for her documentary provided he did not disclose her real identity. So Gibney hired an actress to tell her story direct from interview transcripts.
“Angelina is very proud of what she does. She thinks it’s a calling, and but at the same time there are people in her life that don’t know what she does and so she wants to keep it under that radar,” Gibney told Pop Tarts. “I found her to be a very engaging, intriguing character, she was very smart and funny, very self assured.”
