Please take no offense to my query. as I am inquisitive by nature and an observer of people, I just wondered...that's all.

However...please re-read my post where upon i explained my feeling on using a so called "made up" character.

As I stated, a Hyman Roth or Frank Pantangelli is O.K. because there was no attachment character in the novel or GF1. But.....you cannot naturally assume that Lucy Mancini had a child by Santino Corleone and use that new personna in GF3, when there is absolutely no mention or evidence of it (child) in it's original form.

Again, a separate entity or character is fine for plot and story enhancement, just so long as there was no prior attachment.

Insofar as the actual character (Vincent) and performance (Andy Garcia)...kudos
