Another little known fact:
The highest-guaranteed-paid actor in The Godfather was:
Richard Castellano (Clemenza)
That’s why Clemenza “dies” between I and II. Notice the black armband Pentangeli wears on his sleeve. Castellano wanted too much $ for the sequel and was written out. Same with Duvall for III.
That’s why they did have Clemenza in the second part...and that guy stole the movie..
