On my way home I was listening to 92.3 FREEFM here in NY and I thought I heard Johnny being interviewed. As it turns out it was 'the' Joe Pistone. He was on for about 40 minutes on the Nick Dipaulo show. Basically he talked about his life undercover but then he talked about Johnny and what a stand up guy he was. He said Johnny became upset when extras on the set were not given water during a break and when a director yelled at another actor for not knowing his lines.
That's our Johnny! :snoopy
He also stated that Lefty never got whacked. The FBI picked him up before the wise guys got to him. He never cut anyone up and he wanted to stay in the mob because they were going to make him a made man and that would have humiliated the mob.
At the end of the interview, they said where in Manhattan and Brooklyn he would be for his book signing. Hope they keep him safe. He sounded like a really nice guy!
Hopefully, but you know how unsavvy I am at this, I posted the link below. Maybe you can read the interview if they post it or listen to it. It was quite fascinating.
