Miss Cleo was portrayed as a gifted and experienced psychic, able to give callers advice not only on various problems of the moment, but also to see into their future.

Miss Cleo’s catchphrase “Call me now!” took root in US popular culture, psychics were soon recognized by a wide television audience across the country. Her charisma and theatrical image, frequent appearances on television and radio increased the credibility of telephone consultations.

Because Miss Cleo always tried to treat her clients with warmth, callers felt comfortable sharing their innermost experiences and thoughts with her.

Despite initial success and fame, the company that employed Miss Cleo was soon found to be engaging in deceptive advertising and business practices. This not only led to the collapse of the company, but also called into question Miss Cleo’s psychic abilities.

The layers of her charismatic personality are also illuminated. From the exaggerated accent and misappropriation of Jamaican cultural elements to the scandal that drew a bold line to Miss Cleo’s 15 minutes of fame, nothing remains undiscovered.
