Yeah, he was just a little too brag-ass to be believed.

[Huntress]

I got that impression as well.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Actually, I missed that, or at least didn’t interpret it as a “go” signal.

What’s really interesting is that Russo the person had, or claims he has, mob experience. The Carlo of the movie looked like a minor character actor. If Russo isn’t a complete fabricator, then he’s a good actor for going down-role for the Carlo character.

As an aside, Howie Carr wrote that the guy who played Moe Greene was in real life associated with the White Bulger mobsters of Boston.

Some of the characters were obviously take offs of some real people. I always wondered who the actress was who was ruined by the Frank Sinatra type guy.

Maybe no one but maybe some one.

“You have to answer for Marilyn Monroe, Carlo.”

[LeoTDB69]

Always wondered, when a mobster dies they say he sleeps with the fishes.

When a fish dies, do other fish say he sleeps with the peoples?

“Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob” by Gianni Russo.

Excellent read! Looks to be a book I'll buy. I never knew that "Carlo" in The Godfather movie was a real mob guy. Fascinating how he got the job and his relationships with gangsters and movie stars - particularly his affair with Marilyn Monroe. And then there's the bit about JFK doing lines of coke off the backs of stars, whoa!

MM was planning to go public about her fun sessions with JFK and RFK. Therefore the Pres. and his brother with help from others did in fact terminate MM.

A number of years ago a book came out written by the son of a big mafia boss (I can't remember the name, but the book is in my mafia box in the attic) who detailed what actually happened.

It wasn't Bobby who did it. He went to visit her shortly before a mob gang of three went into her home and put a drug-laced suppository into her rectum which killed her, and they then staged it to look like a suicide.

Carlo went into the windshield removal business.

[DIRTYSECRET]

He’s wrong. It was me.

[Larry Lucido]

There's a Troy McClure joke in there somewhere.

[UCANSEE2]

How do you ‘put’ a drug-laced suppository into someone’s rectum who is likely unwilling to have anything shoved into their rectum ?

[Slyfox]

Three big guys could do it. Have you ever used a suppository?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Everybody needs a backup career plan.

[Williams]

It helps if the victim is already drunk.

[Kid Shelleen]

>> Where’s Jimmy Hoffa? <<

Michael Cohen will confess he burried the body if it can help nail Trump.

[CAluvdubya]

Now that would be an interesting book to read! So the Mafia killed her on whose behalf? The Kennedys?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

The hottest actress in the world taking up with a polio victim half her age? Seems perfectly believable to me.

(OK, maybe she wasn’t the very hottest, but still.)

[Slyfox]

I will have to find the book, but it was a great read and it answered all the questions like means, motive and opportunity. Everything an investigator needs to solve a crime.
