It's all true every scene you see in that movie is true to the t. In fact there's a video on UA-cam I just watch that shows you the scenes in the movies and then the real scenes. It's unbelievable. Lol. Right on down to Rosenthal arguing with the gaming board in Las Vegas. Even lights a cigarette in the room. Lol
Well, SORTA. She met Spilotro FIRST, then went to Vegas to dance topless. Lester Diamond corrupted her into being a ho at age 14. So, you could assume he slept with her to control and con her.
I think she blows SS out of the water entirely. Too bad Lefty wasn't smarter about women. You don't try to make a hooker/drug addict into a decent, loving wife and mother. They'll never GAF about either her kids or her husband as long as drugs are there. As evidenced by her tying her kid to the bed to go party.
Geri was never a "sex worker", she was a show girl and she also did dance contests and won extra money on the side from doing that. The movie _Casino_ is not 100% accurate on Geri's background. She was however an alcoholic and a drug addict just like the rest of them. Frank Collotta said the same thing about Geri. She wasn't a hooker w a pimp.
A friend of mine met a hooker and he saw something special in her. Stopped liaising with her in the traditional way and told her he would pay for her to take English and business classes (happened in Mexico city) and refused anything in return. She introduced him to her whole family and despite knowing how they met they treated him as one of their own. Fast forward a few years later, she now owns a couple of thriving legitimate businesses and is a success. I do agree with your statement but trusting your gut and following your intuition is always the best way to go :-)
She was given dose of drugs, and Frank never went funeral. Mafia probably killed her like they killed Spilotra. I'm getting that from the book of Casino by Pillegi, impression I got anyway.
J. Rosenthal had legendary coroner to the stars Dr. Thomas Noguchi do an autopsy. Geri had bad habits and hung with a rough crowd. She O.D. hanging with bikers in LA.
@@dannymeisner156 mafia could have killed her because her affair with spilotra comprimised the casino skim, so they could possibly have paid bikers to give her a hot dose. wikidpeida her sister suspected the same, I got that impression from pillegi book casino anyway.
@@jketcham9004 I just want you to know. I was Frank's personal assistant from the time he moved to Laguna Niguel, Ca until he died. Frank loved Geri's toughness and she bore him 2 children. There is no logic for the guys back home to make that call. And Frank hired Noguchi to make sure. She was the mother of his children and if you know Frank's life post Vegas it was dedicated to his daughter Stephanie. An Olympic hopeful at the time. If you want to do some interesting research. Look into Robert Mahue's long association to Frank and Chicago. Cuba, Castro, Howard Hughes. Mahue keeps popping up.
@@dannymeisner156 Yeah I will defer to your knowledge, yeah I had gambling problem anyway. myself in england, have been around alot of homeless scenes with drugs, currently legal highs which were legally sold killing people. I got impression people around Hughes he made last flight which allieviated ocd, seemed to help him psychologically and they shut down him flying and kept him drugged up in later years, And used his money maybe. i don't know if that was mahue. Pillegi book does not say he killed Geri, it said he did'nt go to her funeral, but could if true could be any number of reasons, Mahue seems to pop up around JFK on youtube, I watched interesting podcast called why the mafia hated the godfather movie, said Monroe was given oxygen overdose.
@@jketcham9004 last insight for today. When the movie was green lighted Frank did not know who Robert De Niro was. That's because Frank was always moving forward towards a goal. And going to the movies had no benefit. Neither would going to Geri's funeral. Doesn't mean he didn't care. He just wouldn't consider it a good use of time. And Bob Mahue was Hughes right hand man. And just before he died Bob got caught stealing from Hughes and was fired. He asked Frank to intervene but Frank had no contact with Hughes. I think only Hank Greenspan did. Take care.
He was into illegal gambling and all that stuff (the guy was a genius in gambling) but mainly he just ran the Stardust Casino which was a front company for the mob, he wasn't a muscle man for them or a Mob Hitman
Well, yeah, but let's take notice of how FEW of those people are even REMOTELY happy! If they WERE, at least use the money to HELP OTHERS, they'd all be alive now. Geri would be in her 80s, but it's possible, if she sobered tf up. Problem w getting addicted to drug and being a ho is that it's an extremely limited "life span." "Old" is probably over 30. So, you get addicted to drugs and p*ss money just wherever, as mentioned in the movie...brilliant, for such a "smart" chick.
She had swag, and I mean hello, if she made money that easily in that era, 300,000 a year?! She probably didn’t think much more of him than an obsessed sugar daddy.. he’s hideous!!! No wonder she never caught feels!
Well, how stupid is it to date and marry a ho? She was JUST pretty, and using drugs, probably not for long. Plus, she's nuts, at least wonked out of drugs. He'd have been a billion times happier with a decent woman who was just average.
I know I’m a sucker for hot women with a fire to them, but I fell in love with Geri just listening to this story… She sounds like an absolute supernova of a personality.
He'd have been better off with an old bag, truthfully. Spilotro's wife was no beauty queen later on (average), but she didn't cause him half this trouble.
She was attractive to him but she was not s good parent. I remember the scene when she was with the daughter. Instead of reading a story or playing games, she showed the child all the jewels she had got from the father.
Did you miss the part where she's doing coke in front of her and ties the kid to the bed to go use?? She supposedly went to visit her money when she was depressed. Lots of addicts are depressed WITHOUT drugs, BEFORE drugs. Not thar jumping into OTHER (legal) drugs helps, often enough. The drug co's are the BIGGEST drug dealers and murderers of ALL of them.
*Incorrect* she was never a "ho" she was a show girl and did dance contests and won extra money on the side from doing that. She liked to earn her own money in the gambling world. She tried to be a housewife, but found out how boring it is, but she was never a prostitute. You got to get over your laziness, eric and do some kind of research. _Can't take a dumb lazy boy seriously_ .
She sounds phenominal but your can't make a "working girl" a house wife. I think that was his downfall. I think that was a big part of the down fall of their operation. It was going to fall any way but that is what greased slope for all of them to fall. Lesson learned pick your spouse and friends wisely.
He'd have been a billion times better off with an ugly broad that truly DID love him! You can't make a ho into a lady, especially not a drug addicted one.
Trying to teach a bird not to fly is fucking impossible!!!! You can try all you want but that bird will still fly no matter your effort. Rosenberg, the best gambler didn't see that coming!? 😐😐😐😐
That black and white pic is surely at her peak
Oah god
That was such a bad ass move, told just how it was shown in the movie. Geri was that girl!!!
“Look at Ginger work the room!”
Thumbnail pic, Lefty resembles Don Knotts!! Lol
I wouldn’t have thought this was true. It makes it even more special!!

Wow, he deserved to lose it all if that's what made him fall in love.
Riiiiiiiight???
She was just as gorgeous as Sharon
Did she really blow Spilotro ?
@@rickobrien4025 yes, that even got back 2 the bosses in the mid-west like they showed in the movie
@@rickobrien4025Yes, she and Spilotro had an Affair so yes Blowing certainly happened.
I think she blows SS out of the water entirely. Too bad Lefty wasn't smarter about women. You don't try to make a hooker/drug addict into a decent, loving wife and mother.

The scene at the Dunes described here was re-enacted in the 1995 movie "Casino".
We know
Did he really crush someone’s hand (Like he did in the movie .)?
She never wanted to be a wife and mother. This was not one sided. It is sad they couldn't understand this going in.
She was a ho, though. They had the pill and abortion by this point. She knew how to not go there.
This guy looks like my dad's friend Frank Schmidt.....everyone has a Frank Schmidt in their life
A German?
@@chloekit4861 probably ✡️
Lefty caught some serious feels.
She looks like Margot Robbie in the b&w photo
Never wife up ot date a sex worker. Perfect example right here.

I am calm!
This guy has to be the nerdiest looking gangster I've ever seen. Who would be afraid of him?
He was into illegal gambling and all that stuff (the guy was a genius in gambling) but mainly he just ran the Stardust Casino which was a front company for the mob, he wasn't a muscle man for them or a Mob Hitman
he wasn't a gangster. he worked for gangsters.
He was a cash machine for the mob.
@@j.g.bloodworth9837 But he looks like Phillip Drummond. Cash machine for Arnold and Willis.
He wasn't a tough guy gangster HE WAS BRAINS
Damn..what a beauty.
300,000 thousand a year wow
In the 60s !
Well, yeah, but let's take notice of how FEW of those people are even REMOTELY happy! If they WERE, at least use the money to HELP OTHERS, they'd all be alive now.

Sinatra was definitely tapping that too
Holy shit 300k
Damn man for a guy who was really into sports he sure looked like somebody who's never done any sports. kinda like howard Cosell for example
Chad Spilotro vs Virgin Rosenthal
Man the real Frank Rosenthal looks like jigsaw.

He was way out of his league
If you have confidence and attitude, no woman is out of your league.
Actually, I think SHE was way out of her league.
@@caligulapontifex5759 same in reverse😎
not likely jagoff, he had $$$$$ and thats what buys cunnnts like her, you're too dumb and slow to even know this ignoramus!
WOW!
I know I’m a sucker for hot women with a fire to them, but I fell in love with Geri just listening to this story… She sounds like an absolute supernova of a personality.
She was a headache
What about smart women with fire to them? 'Useless' ?
you sound like a massive cucckold lmao
He'd have been better off with an old bag, truthfully. Spilotro's wife was no beauty queen later on (average), but she didn't cause him half this trouble.
cool!
She looks like Margot Robbie in this photo
How much would this video cost to license?
She was a bad girl 😁...too bad this is edited where can I find the full version of this
This is taken word for word from the book Casio by Nicholas Pileggi. Read the book and you will learn everything 100% factually true.
Yeah this is from the audiobook Casino.
@@michaelthomas6663 i think he is talking about the parts that skip a little.
Was this audio extracted from Frank Rosenthal's book? If so, what's it called?
Nicolas Pilleggi’s book Casino.
Rosenthal was thinking with his little brain and not his big brain. Geri was disgusting.
Can do soo much with that kind of money and she chooses drugs. Man I will never understand I guess.
Well, that and being a ho, I guess.
He had a nice house and his own business and they're making him out to be poor.
Yeah he was very wealthy.
Pretty
Yeah she was
robert de niro is taller then frank rosenthal.
No Frank was over 6 ft de Niro is only 5 9
@@captainobvious5993 He meant "Robert De Niro is taller than Sharon Stone" 🤣😂
Well, Spilotro was only 5'2...
fantastic
What did she die from?
See Geri, Siegfried and Roy disco on the Frank Rosenthal Show at about 9mins: ua-cam.com/video/4e5H3RQmkPc/v-deo.html
Yeah, he was a real dork. It's no wonder Geri was able to work him so good.
She was attractive to him but she was not s good parent. I remember the scene when she was with the daughter. Instead of reading a story or playing games, she showed the child all the jewels she had got from the father.

Rosenthal was a f sensible. Like I was. Dude should have been a priest.
I don't how sensible he was because He controled herand beat her.

Total b.s. She was a "working friend" of Tony Spilotro's. He introduced her to Lefty
She was so beautiful and charming....what a waste!
how does a pro gambler become a mark?
what a mope
