Within the new guide, Campi claimed the mob was even behind Sinatra’s Oscar-winning position in From Right here to Eternity after he was initially rejected for the a part of Non-public Angelo Maggio.
The previous FBI agent wrote: “Columbia Studios was seemingly carefully aligned with the mob. Sinatra requested a job from Columbia’s head, Harry Cohn, who turned him down.
“Sinatra then apparently approached an middleman to Genovese energy, Frank Costello, who handpicked Chicago mobster Johnny Roselli to ship a message.”
Roselli allegedly “persuaded” Cohn to forged Sinatra, telling him he was a “f—— useless man” if he did not do as he was advised.
The incident allegedly impressed one of the crucial well-known scenes in The Godfather, the place a movie producer was made “a proposal he could not refuse”.
