Actually, the movie is based on a 100% real person. The late Domino Harvey wasn't the "alleged daughter of Laurence Harvey", she was the daughter of Laurence Harvey and model Paulene Stone. Domino Harvey seems to have had a serious jones for adrenalin. After a stint in London where she may or may not have worked as a model, she worked as a ranch hand and firefighter before becoming a bounty hunter in South Central LA, and by all accounts a very good one. Of course the movie took great liberties with her life (like any Hollywoood biopic) but there's no question that Domino Harvey was a real person.

The Guardian: She loved bringing in sleazebags (Open in New Window)
