Michael Franzese says in interview with Jim Rome yesterday that he thinks Livia Soprano might be based on his mother. Sonny Franzese's house was bugged for years and Michael thinks David Chase or other Sopranos consultants might have gotten a hold of the tapes. He says when watching the show he couldn't believe how similar Livia was to his mother. Link to interview: http://jimrome.com/audio/the-jim-rome-podcast/
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
