#TaliaShire is the only person to be directed to an Oscar nomination by a sibling. Her brother Francis Ford Coppola directed her in #TheGodfatherPartII (1974).

Happy 79th birthday to #TaliaShire (Connie Corleone Rizzi) who was born on April 25, 1946. Talia portrayed Michael Corleone’s sister in every installment of #TheGodfather.

Director #FrancisFordCoppola fought for #AlPacino. #TheGodfather was shot briskly because both the director and the leading actor were in constant fear of being fired. Ironically, this turned out to be a breakthrough for both. Happy birthday, Godfather!

Joey Zasa @joeyzasalovesu.bsky.social · Apr 25

#AlPacino was rejected repeatedly by studio heads & frequently referred to as "that midget Pacino" by producers of #TheGodfather (1972) who did not want him for the role of Michael Corleone.

Joey Zasa @joeyzasalovesu.bsky.social · Apr 25

Happy 85th birthday to #AlPacino (Michael Corleone) who was born on April 25, 1940. Alfredo James "Al" Pacino established himself as a film actor during one of cinema's most vibrant decades, the 1970s, and has become an enduring and iconic figure in the world of American movies.

In 1990, Brett Halsey played the role of Douglas Michelson in Mario Puzo’s The Godfather Part III. For those who don’t remember, Douglas Michelson was Kay Corleone’s second husband. #BrettHalsey #TheGodfather #TheGodfatherPartIII #TheGodfatherTrilogy #MarioPuzo #FrancisFordCoppola

George Lucas shot the footage of newspaper inserts in #TheGodfather that show major events during the scenes where the families go to the mattresses as well as the one where Michael reads about the shooting of his father.

Joey Zasa @joeyzasalovesu.bsky.social · Dec 22

Another notable attendee attached to #TheGodfather Trilogy was SofiaCoppola (director, writer, producer, and #TheGodfatherPartIII actress). Also in attendance (with his wife Melody) was previous honoree and the creator of #StarWars George Lucas.
