    She's always looked like Liberace as far as facial features. And, I think she was a manipulative, imperious witch. It's fine to strive for excellence but to belittle and demean your employees is reprehensible.

      She wasn't BELITTLING Anyone. She was Draining the Swamp by getting rid of Lazy irresponsible bums getting paid for nothing. Many of them She actually turned into productive workers who continued to work for her for decades.

    I worked in the hotel profession for over 20 years. My first boss trained under Leona Hemsley and she was extremely tough. But it taught me excellent skills and really how to be an exceptional worker.

      I agree but I got to say she turned it on so much looked like Harry was trying to get her to compose herself! While dancing she was attempting to lead and holding him all so tight lol then when hugging him close he looked out of breath. She stalked Harry and Harry was a cutie. He had a great personality. Wonder bout his aim? 😮

I don’t know I always liked Leona. She would’ve liked me on the type worker all of my bosses love me I always like to go the extra mile. It’s fun.

    If she were a man, she’d be praised. She was a workaholic and perfectionist. She absolutely adored Harry and treated him like a king. And she also clarified that she owns nothing. He does. She had her own before marrying him. She was a successful real estate tycoon. (If a man can be called that, so can a woman). She was not some young girl, who didn’t work. She left behind more money that continues to help millions to this day.

He has a penchant for crack, prostitutes, and avoiding paying child support. By the way, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have donated billions to charity. What awful human beings. If Trump single-handedly cured cancer and AIDS tomorrow, people would criticise him for it. They're unhinged.
