She killed their baby and the reason was ridiculous. It didn’t fit the context of the movie. It felt like an out of place ham fisted message that Hollywood loves to sneak in.
Apollonia was seriously hot…
She was picked for the part because of her looks but her acting, especially in the first movie, is cringeworthy.
No, it was in the movie, not the book.

The characters had two born kids (boy and girl), and Kay aborted the 3rd (another son).
Kay was a hated character? Why? It’s not like they blew her up in a car on a sun-kissed estate.
Damn you, Fabrizio!
I always wondered about how she felt about that part. She never seemed right in it except it’s a girl selected to hate because she’s not Italian or all on board with the mob but meanwhile if you think about it, she’s murdered her own child using abortion.
So the Godfather is an anti-abortion movie!
Or is it an against wives going on ahead without their husband’s consent?
Or is it a film to make the guys in the Godfather look like they aren’t so bad, they only kill other bad guys in their group?
The one thing I HATED about the absolute EPIC Godfather movies was the moronic Diane Keaton character. She played a whiny simp of a woman who I just couldn’t stand.
I don’t blame her for not knowing much about the story. Even though the book was a best seller, it only came out in 1969. I still think that was rather fast for a book to make it to the big screen.
I like the story about a murder mystery movie she was in. Had a big budget and a well known director but it had a problem. The film editor didn’t like it. After much wrangling the director knew he was right. So they dropped the murder mystery angle, recut it, and Woody Allen gave us the first modern ROM-com, “Annie Hall.”
nothing as repetitive, as repetition... 8^)
No, there’s a boy (Anthony) and a girl (Mary) in Godfather II and III.

No aborted character comes back to life.
She was very good in a Ripped-From-The-Headlines, TV movie, “On Thin Ice,” about a mother who becomes a drug addict then works a dangerous undercover job to avoid prison: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345119/
“Michael was to have different life—one with a school teacher and living outside the family business—but all that changed.”
Michael Corleone was the original “Breaking Bad”.
LOL, SO true.
Diane Keaton’s portrayal of Kay was the second weakest of any actor in any of the three films. First, and she only appeared in the last, was Sophia Coppola. No fault of her own. She simply wasn’t an actress. Pretty good director, as it turned out, but she couldn’t even have been described as an amateur actress. Just the director’s kid. I felt sorry for the critical abuse she took. In Keaton’s case she was just horribly miscast.
She was the only character that wasn’t evil in the entire movie. She wasn’t hated, she was sympathetic and how could feel anything other than sympathy for her?
This analysis is total BS.
OMG, OMG THE CAST DID NOT KNOW THAT THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT THE ......MAFIA.
HOW STIPID IS THAT. IT JUST PROVES THAT HE INTELLIGENCE ON THE LEFT IS ...SORRY TO SAY IT...STUPID WITH ABSOULTELY NO CONCEPT OF ...UNEXPEDED CONSEQUENCES.
As people pointed out on this thread, she had an abortion, while married, so some may disagree with you.
