A factual, fun, sometimes funny overview of high-living movers and shakers, lowly scam artists and criminals, and just plain colorful folks. Discover little-known facts about some of Florida's most famous residents, visitors, and events:
  • Why Gypsy Rose Lees performance in a Florida club was her last
  • Why Yoko Ono and John Travolta sold their Florida digs, and why Sylvester Stallone, Shaquille ONeal, and Jimmy Buffett are staying put
