Like much that Puzo included in his novel, I thought it was unnecessary. Woltz could have been the best guy in the world, but that would not have affected Vito's efforts to secure the movie role for Johnny. So, informing us of Woltz's "infamiTa" activities was about as useful to the reader as learning of Lucy's vagina issue.

I don't recall anything like that about Judy's mother.
