...........the real godfather.... repost...NEW NEIL LINK
(Neil Rogers Show link “Godfather” at end of this post!)
------------------------------
....Meyer Lansky has always fascinated me!
He, of course, was basically the boss of bosses of the American
Mafia. He lived in Miami Beach and actually walked his dog ever day!
I asked someone who would know...if he had any kind of protection
around while out walking his dog and they answered in the affirmative.
“They are there but you don’t know it!”
Lansky was still alive when Neil and I were doing our radio shows in
Miami and we used to joke about him walking his dog...but
“nicely”....and carefully. One never knows.
The Mob boss character Hyman Roth played so well in Godfather II by
the great Lee Strasberg was basically based on Meyer Lansky. The movie
“LANSKY” was crap.
I didn’t know it until this posting that Lansky’s daughter, Sandra,
had written about her life...mentioning Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin
(she claims to have been Dean’s mistress for awhile).
It’s very unusual to write about the Mob from inside the
organization. I plan to get her book “Daughter Of The King” at the
library (if it’s there!)
...meantime....here’s Neil Rogers on WIOD doing his versions of “GODFATHER”.
