Jury awards disgruntled Lonely Heart $2.1 million Single people everywhere dream of a match made in heaven. Anne Majerik, a 60-year-old widowed social worker from Pennsylvania, only dreamed of a match made in Beverly Hills. But when her high-priced matchmaker disappointed her, she sued. And yesterday, a Los Angeles Civil Court jury awarded the woman $2.1 million U.S. Ms. Majerik, who paid $125,000 to Beverly Hills matchmaker Orly Hadida, said she was promised time with "a cultured gentleman" and his "estate of up to $20 million." She said all she got were a few introductions to some inappropriate men. Ms. Hadida told a far different story. She alleged Ms. Majerik is a serial suer of matchmakers, and that the widow used her and the hapless men Ms. Hadida set her up with, "enjoying the intimacy" and then later claiming that she had been "psychologically damaged by the process" and demanding compensation. But the jury didn't buy that argument.
