Did you hear the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do.
Marie Castello (May 25, 1915[1] – June 27, 2008), who was known as Madam Marie, was an American fortune teller and psychic reader who worked on the Asbury Park, New Jersey, boardwalk from 1932[1] until 2008.[2] Madam Marie was the longest running tenant on the Asbury Park boardwalk.[2]
Castello was a fixture in Asbury Park for decades, telling fortunes on and off at her tiny booth on the boardwalk which is nicknamed The Temple of Knowledge.[2] She read the fortunes of celebrities ranging from Judy Garland to Bruce Springsteen.[2] According to accounts, Castello reportedly told Springsteen that he would be a huge success.[2] Springsteen later jokes that she told all her musician clients the same thing.[2]
