(Sept. 21) -- Last week AOL News reported on bearded lady Vivian Wheeler's reunion with her long-lost son, Richard Lorenc. Wheeler hoped to share her story with Maury Povich, and now she will.

After reading the article, the executive producer of "The Maury Show," Paul Faulhaber, immediately arranged to bring Wheeler and Lorenc to Stamford, Conn., for a taping next week.

"I was just reading the article to myself saying, 'This story is unbelievable, maybe they would be interested in doing a paternity show.' I didn't even get to the Maury part," Faulhaber told AOL News. "Then right at the bottom of the article it said they wanted to contact "The Maury Show." I was really floored. This is a story tailor-made for our show."
