During my high school years -- the early '90s in Connecticut -- Amy Fisher became a household name. Her trist with Joey Buttofuoco led to her shooting his wife Mary Jo in the head (she lived) and spending 7 years in prison for her crime. Two movies were even made about Amy, one starring Alyssa Milano and one starring Drew Barrymore. As the years have passed on, I've seen clips of Amy on TV, looking like a zombie in her prison garb and wondered how she would end up.
Well, now Amy is doing great. She's out of prison, a mother, a wife, and a succesful columnist for the Long Island Press. She's also just completed a book.
If you have some time, read through her work at the paper, particularly her first piece.
It's great stuff, and I can honestly say that I wish an ex-con nothing but the best.
Boy sea coming need real estate, me boy under we.
