Gastone Moschin –
Actor, Italian, US cinema one hit wonder.
June 8, 1929 – September 4, 2017.
Aged 88 years.
Most recognized for: In the Godfather II, he played the neighborhood extortionist Don Fanucci, also referred to as the ‘Black Hand.’ Although his US screen time was cut short by De Niro, he was an award winning actor in Italian film & TV. If he’d leaned to speak English, he could have done more that just ‘wet his beak’ in Hollywood.
