John Franzese, nicknamed “Sonny,” was a legendary figure in the American Mafia. He was born at the beginning of the 20th century and died only at the start of the 21st, becoming the oldest mobster in history. He kept ties with all the iconic members of Cosa Nostra and became one of them himself.

Sonny was fully immersed in the life of a mobster and followed its rules without exception, which he proved on more than one occasion. He is rightly considered one of the most resilient criminals who never cooperated with the authorities. No matter how many years of imprisonment he was threatened with, Sonny always stayed true to his choice without hesitation. He would pay for it with prison terms, which eventually ran into several decades.

During his long life, this man managed to do many things. He had an affair with Marilyn Monroe, the top beauty symbol of the 20th century. He helped introduce Bob Marley to the world, and he also sponsored the highest-grossing porno ever made in the genre.

Today's story is not just a retelling of a gangster's life. We’re taking a retrospective look at a major part of the history behind the American Mafia through the lens of one man. He saw how the older guys rose from bootlegging alcohol, then participated in the transformation of Cosa Nostra into the dominant crime organization of the States in the 20th century, and finally watched the decline of his organization, which by now, has either gone deep underground, or disappeared altogether.
So if you're interested in hearing the story of the man who probably most embodies the title of “mobster,” then meet John Sonny Franzese, on the other side of the law.
