Leah Remini, the wife on "King of Queens", is the daughter of George Remini the Gambino capo.
Really?! I never heard that, is there anywhere where its written or she discusses it??
Persistent internet rumor for years. But most gossip sites have gone out of their way to dispel it by saying that "Leah's father is named George, but shouldn't be confused with the Gambino capo."
For what it's worth, here's a partial quote and a link:
Leah Remini was born in Bensonhurst (Brooklyn), New York, to George Remini, owner of an asbestos company. Her father, originally from Sicily, is not to be confused with George Remini, the Caporegime of the Gambino Crime Family. Her mother Vicki Marshall, a former high school principal and current LA restaurant owner, is Jewish and originally from Austria. Her parents were divorced in 1977.
