He had a certain creepy Robert Davi meets Jack Palance look about him. RIP.

Alyssa Milano and Friends killed him about 50 times on “Charmed”.

Saw that in the theater when I was 13. It was a shocking scene to say the least and a total fabrication. The real Frank Nitti (Nitto) committed suicide in 1943 at 57. I don’t know if they mentioned it in the film, the reason he was so trusted by Capone is that they were first cousins.

RE Untouchables:

I enjoyed that movie. Connery was great, as usual.

More and more...

As I watch “classic” movies, I’m seeing more and more of the people in them are dead. :(

They probably scheduled it due to his death.
