Rosemary Altea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosemary Altea (circa 1940s) is a self proclaimed psychic and author. She has appeared on various programs, including Larry King Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show (with Michael Shermer in 1995) and was featured on Penn and Teller's Bullshit! in its first ever episode which was titled "Talking to the Dead." She has written over ten books.
Regarding the 2003 Bullshit! episode, Kevin Christopher of the Skeptical Inquirer wrote that the segment on Altea "was a nice expose of Rosemary Altea during a taped readings arranged by Showtime. Viewers got a clear picture of how she worked the small group of people present for readings prior to the taping in order to glean information for later use. They also learned how her publicist [Joni Evans] seeded the group with people whose biographies were already known to Altea in order to boost her on-camera success."[1]
On January 26, 2007 Altea appeared on Larry King Live with skeptic James Randi. She refused to answer whether or not she would take the One Million Dollar Challenge.[2]
