Yes. I've seen one or two bio's of Bugsy (A&E, History Channel, etc.). One of them has some home movies of Bugsy in Hollywood in bathing trunks, cigar, etc. Looked to be in pretty good shape. There are also stills of him with his lawyer, Jerry Geisler, who got him off the Big Greenie Greenberg murder rap. I'll bet there's movie footage of that as well. Except for Gotti and Columbo, mobsters have been notably camera-shy. You, especially, will have noticed that even Capone didn't have a lot of movie footage. All those Capone bios and "Roaring Twenties"-type documentaries show the same tiny handful of Capone clips.

I wouldn't say Bugsy was really worried about keeping a low profile tho...that's why I'm surprised I have'nt seen any clips. Ron
