Part 3 - Albert Anastasia Escaped the Electric Chair to Die in a Barber Chair - Part 3

Albert Anastasia (born “Anastasio,” the masculine form of the Italian name) was a mobster who came out of the tough streets of Lower Manhattan to run one of the Five Families of La Cosa Nostra through the first half of the 20th century. Along the way, he built a reputation as one of the Mob’s most feared killers. Anastasia was reportedly a member of Murder Incorporated, the kill-for-hire crew that worked for Charlie “Lucky” Luciano and others in the years of Prohibition. Anastasia was, according to reports, one of the four men in 1931 who assassinated Giuseppe “Joe the Boss” Masseria, a powerful Mob boss, in the bloody gang rivalry known as the Castellammarese War. Anastasia was charged in three murders – in 1928, 1932 and 1933 – but in each case, witnesses either disappeared or refused to testify. Two other high-level Mob informants, both under police custody, died before their testimony helped bring Anastasia to trial, in 1941 and 1942. During World War II, Anastasia joined the U.S. Army. He also reportedly helped engineer the deal that eventually allowed Luciano, then ostensibly serving a life sentence for multiple prostitution-related convictions, to get out of prison (and go into exile in Italy) in exchange for keeping the New York City docks free of wartime Nazi infiltration. Anastasia worked for the Army training longshoremen on the East Coast. In 1943, he received U.S. citizenship for his military service, and he was honorably discharged from the Army in 1944. Eventually, Gambino moved against his sometime family boss. Anastasia was gunned down while he was sitting in a barber chair in Manhattan. Gambino assumed the family leadership, which would eventually become known as the Gambino crime family.

Jack is the son of Albert Anastasia a member of the Gambino crime family, and a true believer that organized crime makes neighborhoods safer, it was a very interesting conversation! We also touched upon the JFK assassination, his match with George Foreman, his association with Jimmy Hoffa. Films! He's done so many films during his lifetime, and is still working! Starting with Farewell, My Lovely, and then Superman I and II where he played one of the villains Non, to King Kong (1976), and many others, makes me want to be like Jack! What an interesting life! Thank you all for going on these little adventures with me! #gratitude #grateful #realnickandruss #albertanastasia #JackOHalloran https://www.instagram.com/p/CD91-RaJNlf/?igshid=91bje58m4mmc
