‘Godfather’ actor claims he knows who killed Marilyn Monroe
NY POST ^ | 3/3/19 | Michael Kaplan

Posted on 03/03/2019 1:19:16 PM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Long before the murder, the girls and a role in “The Godfather,” Gianni Russo was a 13-year-old with a bum arm. Freshly sprung from Bellevue’s polio ward, he ditched his neglectful parents to sleep on flour sacks in the back of a Little Italy bakery and sell pens in front of the Waldorf-Astoria.

It was 1956 and one of his regular customers was mob boss Frank Costello. The don would throw Russo a fiver and rub the boy’s withered shoulder for luck.

After a few months of that, Russo objected to being touched. Costello respected the kid’s gumption — and was even more impressed when he found out that Gianni’s great-uncle was Angelo Russo, a Sicilian kingpin who had been hanged by the Italian government in 1947 after having played a role in establishing New York’s five crime families.

He was 16, Russo said, when he struck up an affair with the actress, then 33. Costello had asked him to keep an eye on her for the mob, which stashed its favorite moll in New York City while settling an issue she had with producer Darryl Zanuck on the West Coast. Monroe and Russo saw one another, on and off, for four years.

He claims to know how she really died. Russo showed The Post a photo of himself and the actress in 1962, at the CalNeva Lodge, a resort on the California-Nevada border. “It was taken three days before she was found dead in Los Angeles of what coroners deemed to be a drug overdose,” Russo said. The man behind the camera: Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana.

I was always given to understand that Marilyn Monroe killed Marilyn Monroe, through accidental or deliberate drug overdose.

Always safe to allege the unprovable.

“Ahhh, that little farce you played with my sister. Did you think that would fool a Corleone?”

This guy sounds like a real player, even if the Carlo Rizzi part called for him to act like a schmuck.

Great article.

Tattaglia’s a pimp. But I had no idea until this day, that it was Barzini, all along.

... deliberate drug overdose....

...by RFK.

Too much pillow talk from bragging pols combined with her worsening mental state made her a liability.

Actually I believe she was kept so drugged up by her doctor. I’ve read some pretty convincing accounts especially the potent drug enemas he administered and that last one was just too much. Very sad.

I read the whole article and this is a guy so full of himself it is impossible to know if there is any truth in his account.

Wow.

“Where’s Jimmy Hoffa?”

According to a comedian.... When Tammy Faye Bakker died they had her at the funeral parlor and when they took her makeup off they found Jimmy Hoffa.

Note how Tom Hagen signals Clemenza when he loosens his tie.
