Whatever Happened to Sam Rothstein from "Casino"?

When "Casino" came out I remember seeing one interview with him but then nothing more, is he still alive?

First of all welcome to the boards and happy browsing and posting. But The Real life organized crime section would be more appropriate for this post. Anyways enjoy the site.

There is so much on this site to check out, I didn' think of posting it there . Thanks!

It's cool, Scarlett. They let you get away with it once, but the next time you do it, you wake up with Trigger's head in your bed!

I apologize with all respect.

I heard Redman make reference to a Horse named Trigger (What Movie is this from!!!???)

BTW, Frank Rosenthal retired, and his daughter nearly made Olympic Swim Team...

Apologies, Ricardo! I forget not everyone here is a wrinkled old man like yours truly! "Trigger" was Roy Rogers' horse (a Palamino, I think) from Roy Rogers & Dale Evans fame. You probably recognize the names. They did a lot of cheesy, "musical" westerns that I suppose were supposedly dramas (?). Never was a fan myself, though. In fact, it was actually even before my time! Besides, when it comes to Westerns, we all know that the Duke and the Man-With-No-Name rule!

(BTW: After Trigger died, Roy Rogers had the entire horse stuffed! I think it stands in some museum somewhere. Musta' had some kind of weird thing for that horse....no, I won't go there! )

I've heard that, too. At least Trigger didn't end up being served in one of Roy Rogers' roast beef restaurants!

Roy, Trigger and Dale Evans (Roy's wife)

I hadn't thought of it before this but maybe that's what happened to the rest of Woltz's horse after Luca got finished with it!!!

Eeeewwww! Forgot about those wonderful restaurants, SC! As for me, I think I'll stick with iron horses...not to consume, though.

Was Roy related to Buck Rogers?

Dunno, but Roy sold his sandwiches for a buck. :rolleyes:
