6. Association with the Mafia?

The movie The Godfather is one of the most successful movies of all time. In the movie, there is a moment when one of the characters, Johnny Fontane, approached Don Corleone to ask for a favor. The request was granted and the Don helped Johnny reach international stardom.

While the movie itself is fictional, it is based loosely on real characters. While it has not been confirmed, it is thought the Johnny Fontanes character was based on the real live Frank Sinatra. It is thought that the meeting between Fontane and Don Corleone was also based on an alleged similar meeting between Sinatra and a mafia kingpin of the time.
