Hollywood Godfather: The most authentic mafia book you'll ever read

I just started this book two nights ago and already halfway through.Can’t put it down. Very interesting and the authors do a great job ofkeeping the story flowing. I highly recommend. I don’t want it to end. 🥹

This biography of Gianni Russo was so well written 👏 and with much humor 🤣....he has lived a fascinating life thus far. I absolutely recommend this book for all the enjoyed The Godfather and any mob type films as that was his life starting at a early age. He is acquainted with mob bosses and celebrities most accountable Frank Sinatra. I am awaiting the CD 💿 from Gianni Russo as he is an accomplished singer according to the reviews....can't wait to get it to enjoy!!

Let's make a gangster movie. Start with an action scene. Let's start with a suave, sophisticated, generous Italian American nightclub owner, who is 'mobbed up' (associates with organised crime criminals-in this case Italian American mafia) getting into an argument with a crazed Colombian. The Colombian slashes his girlfriend with a champagne bottle & the nightclub owner ends up shooting him. Only this Colombian is an emissary to none other than Pablo Escobar, head of the notorious Cali cartel. And everyone knows, Escobar is not to be messed with.Cue the next scene, nightclub owner is sent a 'message' that he is a marked man and his family is in serious danger so he needs to get this sorted and quickly. So what can he do? Because of his Mob ties, he arranges a sit down with the 'Teflon Don' himself, John Gotti, to see if there's a way the matter can be resolved with the Colombians.Gotti arranges a meeting with Escobar and the nightclub owner in Colombia and our main character has to go down there to meet him. But wait, whilst he's flying down let's do a flashback to the 'good old days' of New York's Little Italy, when the Mob was at it's peak and the nightclub owner was young.Unloved by his parents & afflicted with polio, this kid shows he has the guts & determination to rise above his circumstances and get to the top. And so we hear Russo's life story of Mafia, movies, celebrity and money.From his time in the polio ward as a kid (with an attractive, young and amply proportioned nurse to care for him, of course) to working for Frank Costello (head of the Gambino crime family), meeting Marilyn Monroe, his different businesses in Las Vegas, Sinatra, the rat pack, his part in the JFK assassination to working with Brando on The Godfather, his association with Gotti and Chicago Outfit boss, Tony Accardo, up to his run in with Escobar. This story has it all and more. Everything you'd expect from a solid gangster movie. It's a great story and it'd make a great movie. Is it true? Who knows? I just read it & went along for the ride.
