Hollywood Godfather

I just happened to be dating his mother, Marcia.

It just happened to open Caesar's palace at the time.

And he was a cute little kid.

He used to come sit on my lap outside in the sun.

And I had always had chips on me. And he didn't realize as well, I was giving him. I was giving

a black chip. It was $100 every time I saw the kid. Because it didn't mean nothing to me. I was

getting him out of the cage and make money.

I said, no, I'm not.

He said, well, I don't know who my dad is.

I said, I don't know either.

As you could imagine years later, I mean, he went to NYU film school.
