The son of murdered Irish mobster Mickey Spillane tumbled out the window of his sixth-floor apartment in a fatal fall Saturday, police and his uncle said.
Suuuuuure he did.

well, i thought mickey spillane wrote all those mike hammer detective novels. i had to google! unfortunate to share a name with a mobster, i guess.
ReplyDeletei'm much more familiar with authors than mobsters. thanks to wikipedia i am no longer confused :)
and btw, how did we miss this play? sounds like a winner to me! perhaps the lyceum will run it next season :)
"A few years ago Spillane drew on the lore from his father's time to write an off-Broadway play called All Dolled Up about a cross-dressing gangster in the 1960s."
