Frank Abagnale
Made famous by the novel about his life, Catch Me If You Can – later a film starring Leonardio DiCaprio – Frank Abagnale forged a law degree from Harvard, passed the Louisiana State bar, and worked for awhile in a state attorney general’s office. He later forged a degree from Columbia University and taught school. The fibs were clearly a pattern: He had also impersonated a pediatrician and pilot earlier on. He served three prison terms.
