« Intonation in question tags
Frank Abagnale is one of the world's most famous
impersonators. During his life, he has assumed at
least eight separate identities, including an airline
pilot, a lawyer, a professor, and a doctor. He was also
a brilliant conman who forged $2.5 million worth
of cheques across 26 countries over the course of
five years. Such was his fame that his adventures
have been made into a Stephen Spielberg film and a
Broadway musical, both called Catch Me If You Can.
Amazingly, Frank's career as a conman began when
he was just 16. Unset at the divorce of his parents, he
ran away to New York and, being tall, handsome, and
already going grey, he pretended to be 26 and got a
jb. His first major con was bank fraud. He created a
new identity and set up numerous bank accounts. He
printed flawless fake cheques and managed to cash
them at the banks.
However, Frank is most famous for impersonating
an airline plot. He conned Pan Am into giving him a
pilot's uniform, and he faked an ID card, He was still
only a teenager when he flew over 1,000,000 miles
and visited 26 countries enjoying the glamorous
lifestyle of an international plot at Pan Am's expense!Frank also had the nerve to impersonate a
paediatrician in a Georgia hospital and nearly caused
a baby to die through oxygen deprivation. Having
‘the sense to realize he was putting lives at risk, he
changed course and became a university professor. He
‘taught sociology and apparently his classes were very
popular. By now, the police were on his trail, but he
always managed to cover his tracks until eventually he
‘was arrested in France and imprisoned for five years.
Its easy to understand how his amazing
impersonations and adventures lent themselves to
both a movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank,
and a highly successful Broadway musical.
Today, the majority of Frank's work is for the FBI,
preventing fraud rather than committing it! He
believes that fraud is too easy. ‘Nowadays’, he says,
“technology breeds crime’ and ‘prevention is the only
feasible course of action’.
