A notorious New York mobster became a target of the federal government after Marilyn Monroe allegedly called out his name during an encounter with Robert F. Kennedy, his son claimed.
Appearing on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast, former Colombo crime family captain Michael Franzese detailed a bombshell account passed down by his late father, underboss John “Sonny” Franzese.
Franzese said Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy ordered FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover to target Franzese’s father after Marilyn Monroe allegedly mentioned the mobster during an intimate encounter with Kennedy.
Franzese said his father claimed he had an affair with Monroe after meeting her at Manhattan’s Stork Club.
“Now this is my father telling me this, right, she’s with Bobby Kennedy,” Franzese said of the legendary starlet.
“And he said, ‘One night they were having fun together, and she screamed out my name.'”
“She said at that point [Kennedy] got on the phone with Hoover, and he said, ‘I don’t know who this Sonny guy is, but put him in jail.'”
Franzese, one of the highest-earning Mafia figures to publicly leave organized crime, said his father shared the story after Franzese’s mother died in 2012.

Talking about any made person isn’t good for ones health.
As John Wayne said, Actresses are high paid prostitutes.
No. As a cultural artifact though, it hit a certain spot among quite a few women.
Have you seen his show on YouTube? Has his a talk show and also does interviews. He addressed your question in one of them, said after he got out of jail he was careful not to fall into any observable patterns of movement and so forth, and over time, just outlived anyone who would want him dead. He takes his Christian faith seriously now. A very interesting guy.
Bull! Oswald was a Commie nut case who thought he could get away with it.

And all the conspiracy talk was meant to drive away the fact that a commie did it. They wanted it to be a “Right Winger”, so as to clampdown on the Right.
Monroe was a prostitute. The Kennedy family passed her around; not sure why they’d be upset about other customers.
I don’t think it was only about her affairs. There was pillow talk about things going on with the government, Cuba, who knows what else and she knew something they really didn’t want blabbed.
Her diary was never found.
What I always thought was funny is that if you were standing in front of that social club, looking directly at it, to the left is or used to be The Irish American Association of which my family belonged to. Two of my older brothers played drums in the association's bagpipe and drum band. In one episode, something to do with Christmas Tony was having a dream where he's playing Santa and a little girl is sitting in his lap. Tony asks her what she wants for Christmas and , ( I only heard about this scene) the little girls say's F**k you Tony'' That little girl was my niece. Kinda wish my sister hadn't let her do that part. The voice was dubbed in but still...
The ‘’social club’’ in “The Sopranos’’ was filmed on the main street in Kearny,
“Social club? He’s gotta go!”
