George Barone may not have been made. He may have had Alzheimers Disease in my opinion. He lied about he movie West Side Story being based on him and his friends. He was a union man that was pushed up the ranks by the Genovese Family, ad he turned on them using the usual "They did me wrong" excuse all rats use. He threw a fit in court while on the witness stand, and had some other stories which were questionable (Such as his being the inspiration for that movie) but the defense was not able to press him on it.
