Married to the Mob

Married to the Mob
A mob wifes operating principle is simple: As long as her husband can bring in enough income to support his family and maintain a respectable lifestyle, the wife doesnt care to know where it all came from. And if shes smart, she wont ask.


Lana Turner
Glamorous movie queen has affair with gangster Johnny Stompanato, who beats her up on the night she gets an Oscar. Fourteen-year-old daughter, Cheryl Crane, avenges her mother in one of Hollywood's most talked-about crimes.


Mob Mistresses
Hollywood myths and reality about mob girlfriends are light-years apart. The old "code of honor" was pushed aside in favor of an "every man for himself" mentality, and a wiseguy knows that his friends are just as likely as his enemies to be the ones who take him down. The hands-off policy is gone and a woman who is perceived as a threat because of what she knows is just as likely as her lover to end up dead.


Mickey Cohen
A tough-guy in Hollywood befriends super-rich William Randolph Hearst when daughter Patty is kidnapped by the African American terrorist group, the Symbionese Liberation Army, and gets involved when friend Johnny Stompanato is stabbed by movie star Lana Turner's daughter.
