She paid $125,000 to a Beverly Hills firm but said she received no introductions to appropriate men.

Single people everywhere dream of a match made in heaven.

Anne Majerik dreame only of a match made in Beverly Hills. But when her high-priced matchmaker disappointed her, she sued. And on Tuesday, a jury awarded her $2.1 million.

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.

Orly, an Israeli beauty pageant winner who goes by her first name, told a far different story.

She and her lawyer alleged that Majerik is a serial suer of matchmakers and that the widow used her and the men Hadida set her up with, enjoyed herself and then claimed that she had been "psychologically damaged by the process" and demanded compensation.
