Anthony J. Pellicano (born March 22, 1944) is an American private investigator and convicted felon, known as a high-profile Hollywood fixer. Pellicano served thirty months in a federal prison for illegal possession of explosives and firearms.
In 2008, Pellicano began serving an additional sentence for crimes including racketeering and wiretapping. Involvement with Pellicano's illegal activities has led to the conviction of figures including actress Sandra Will Carradine, film director John McTiernan, Beverly Hills police officer Craig Stevens, Los Angeles police sergeant Mark Arneson, and attorney Terry Christensen. Actress Linda Fiorentino began dating FBI agent Mark Rossini in an attempt to assist Pellicano's defense, leading to Rossini's conviction for handing over classified files and the end of Fiorentino's film career.
