Polly Adler

Owned and operated New York's best-known bordello in the years preceding World War II. Adler later had best selling book entitled 'A House Is Not a Home' (Rinehart & Co., 1953), ghost-written by 'Virginia Faulkner' (qv). Adler used fictitious names to chronicle her years as a 'madam' to gangsters, police, and upper-income bracket gentlemen looking for relaxation in the company of attractive young women.::pmintun@mac.com
