Il avait des sourcils incroyables, et un nom de famille très satisfaisant pour parler.

 

(Désolé pour nos amis français, ma compréhension de la langue française est horrible. J'ai cherché "sourcils" et "en fonction" sur Google Translate, et en fait toute cette phrase.)

Sixty years since mobster Johnny Stompanato was stabbed to death by Lana Turner's daughter. Stompanato was allegedly kicking the shit out of Turner Sr at the time.


Rumours suggest that Cohen gang bosses originally thought Sean Connery, who had made Turner's acquaintance on a number of occasions, was behind the death, leading the Scotsman to go into hiding for a few weeks.
