A suspected con artist who allegedly impersonated top female Hollywood executives to swindle wide-eyed aspiring stars out of hundreds of thousands of dollars has been arrested in Britain after a US extradition request, the FBI said Thursday (Dec 3).

Dubbed the "Con Queen Of Hollywood," the suspect led investigators on a years-long, global manhunt so improbable it has even been optioned for a book deal.
