hi, I've heard rumors that Joe D. had Mafia connections? can anyone attest to the validity of this? did he have 'em the same way Frankie S. did, or did he simply use them for gambling purposes? thank you. i know he was the basis for Al Neri's character, but that was more on physical appearances and agility.

really, i didn't know about that fiasco. was Marilyn really that promiscous? on the contrary, i got the impression that joltin' joe was a bad husband. bad is probably too strong a word. he did love her more than did any other man, but he could also be very acerbic in his relationships, inadvertetnly pusing away those he cherished. i also read that Joe D. was not a particular fan of the philandering sianatra.

Originally posted by Michael_Corleone: ...was Marilyn really that promiscous? on the contrary, i got the impression that joltin' joe was a bad husband... I can't speak for MM; the main question here is did Joltin' Joe trust her, which he obviously did not. If she was messing around, there may have been other ways for him to handle it than having a bunch of thugs w/ cameras barge in on it. He did not approve of her career or the male adulation she received, but what the heck can you expect when you marry a sex-goddess movie star!?!? And yes, I've heard that he did slap her around. Well...enough about the greatest living (until 1999) Yankee. Apple
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
