Ran across this interesting tidbit. This contradicts an article I saw once that the Apollonia actress was deceased. Viewing this article, I always felt that Abe Vigoda looked old in the original Godfather. Now, he looks ancient.

Where are they now?

Abe Vigoda looks old because he is 89 years old.

Nice link. Thanks.

ETA - I was one of those that believed the report that Simonetta Stefanelli (Apollonia) had actually passed in 2005. Glad to hear she's still with us.

I know it's been many years, but man! I can't believe how many of the cast members have died. What were the chances that John Cazale and Bruno Kirby would be dead, but Abe Vigoda and Eli Wallach would still be alive???

Thanks for the article, Goombah.

The one actor whom I would have never recognized was Carlo. I guess I have not recognized him in much else. But someone like the Moe Green actor looked almost the same (minus the bullet in his glasses wink ) in Goodfellas.

Goombah I saw that Giani Russo turned up on the show (while back now) 'Growing Up Gotti'.
He went on a date with Victoria Gotti and was slef promoting his CD...
It was a bit sad.

He also had a little part in Rush Hour 2. And if I'm not mistaken The Freshman also. Thanks Goombah!!

Yeah, Goom. She's alive and well. She claims those rumors really hurt her acting career. But who knows?

her daughter was in "The American" with George Clooney. She plays a prostitute / eventual love interest. She definately gets her looks from her mother.

Yup. Violante Placido is Simonetta Stefanelli's daughter. She's beautiful, too.

I was just going to write this.

Just now, as it's being mentioned, I realize, that we see Luca Brazi as the first victim in the film, which I find interesting, because he really raids danger in the first hour of the film.

I didn't realise that Virgil 'The Turk' Sollozzo died in 1975, he played a excellent role as Sollozzo..
