Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob

Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old actual mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny up for a hit. Hollywood Godfather is Russo’s over-the-top memoir; the story of a life lived on the edge between danger and glamour.
