Domino Harvey is one of the most popular and richest Bounty Hunter who was born on August 7, 1969 in London, England, United Kingdom. Harvey began his life on August 7, 1969, in Hammersmith, London to the actor Laurence Harvey and fashion model Paulene Stone. Laurence Harvey was married to Joan Cohn until 1972; He got married to Stone soon after divorcing Cohn. In the years following Laurence Harvey died of cancer in 1973, Stone raised Domino in Belgravia which is a posh part of London. As a young girl, Harvey was a tomboy and loved having fun with the action figure. She later revealed that she was a martial artist and often fought with other kids. She was a student at four boarding schools that included Dartington Hall and Frensham Heights and was removed from several of them.
Harvey went to rehab centers for drug addiction 4 times, and each time was paid for from her maternal grandmother. Scott says that Harvey as well as the bounty hunters she worked with were often kept the drugs they found while arresting criminals. Martinez claims that they took cocaine, marijuana and heroin. The year 1997 was the first time Harvey was admitted to a rehab facility for addicts in Hawaii. She stayed at the clinic in Hawaii for two consecutive years. In 2001, after returning to California she tried to be a bounty hunter once more but was unsuccessful in finding employment with the company she had previously worked for.
A film inspired by her life, Domino, was released in October 2005. In his preparations for the film, director Tony Scott taped hours of conversations he had with Harvey about bounty hunting incidents. During filming, Harvey spent three weeks on the set. There have been tabloid reports that the ending was changed after her death and also that she was unhappy with the film’s portrayal of her. The film studio has countered that she was involved with the project for nearly 12 years. Promotional featurettes for the movie include Harvey on set with the cast and crew; she contributed to the soundtrack and also attended the movie’s wrap party in December 2004. Harvey herself appears at the very end of the cast credits of the film. She did not live to see it released.
Harvey continually denied that she was a drug trafficker, claiming to have been set up. While under house arrest, she lived with a person whom she had hired as a “sober guardian” to help her refrain from drug use. On the night of 27 June 2005 her aide discovered her unconscious in her bath. She was taken to a hospital but could not be resuscitated. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner determined that she had overdosed on the painkiller drug fentanyl.
Then, in California, Harvey initially worked as a DJ in nightclubs that were located in Los Angeles. Later, she was employed on an estate near San Diego, and served as an emergency firefighter volunteer within Boulevard, California. In that time, her colleagues taught her firearms. After working as a volunteer firefighter for one year, Harvey was certified as an EMT , and also took classes on fire sciences. When she was in 1993, she failed to attempted to join for the Los Angeles Fire Department, and then she enrolled in a course of just a few weeks to become an agent of bail recovery also known as a bounty hunter.
