Leona Helmsley

In Provider, Lorne says of the Nahdrah’s ship, “Jules Verne meets Leona Helmsley.” Billionaire Leona Helmsley married a real estate tycoon who, under her influence, began a program of conversion of apartment buildings to condominiums. In the 1980s she became infamous for two things – being a tyrannical “boss from hell” (her employees gave her the title “The Queen of Mean”), and for being prosecuted, and eventually convicted and sentenced to prison, for income tax evasion.
In Power Play, Lorne references Helmsley again when he says, “It’s like Angel suddenly started channeling Leona Helmsley.”
