This obviously is music to the ears for the ones that firmly believe The Godfather ended in 1950 and it's a decent argument.


OMG.... they kept Vito Corleone propped up in his garden for five years before they buried him?? (He was buried in 1955. Read his tombstone).

You can't use the age of the actor to determine the age of his/her character with any accuracy.


Hey don't look at me! I'm one of those who almost got a heart attack with defending the 1955 timeline. wink

I do think you can use an actor's age to determine the age of their character if that's the only information there is. And, in this case it's true as Anthony was three to four years old in 1955 according to the timeline.
