Crazy Mario! Great find. I had no idea.

I recognized lucky hat girl from Goodfellas the first time i saw it. I read some interview with her a few years back where she said she felt like she should act like a pothead in Goodfellas among all those coke dealing and snorting wiseguys. That attitude helped her play off of Liotta and it worked for the screen. Liotta, in character, was just getting more pissed. Lol.


"...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
