I don't know if he was a made man in the family or anything. But he did hang with some pretty unsavory characters. Not Dean or Sammy though.

He was close but not a member!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. Who are you...where do you live...what's the price of ce-MENT in your area?

Jerry Lewis wrote in his autobiography that gangsters owned all the clubs where all the stars of the 30s and 40s performed, and you had to get along with them more or less on their terms. Which doesn't make you a gangster, but if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
