Reply to comment by Hattix in TIL Frank Sinatra was convinced that Johnny Fontane, a singer with mob associations, in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather was based on his life leading Sinatra to shout abuse and threaten physical violence when he met Puzo at a restaurant. by trifletruffles

But it doesn't say that at all. A coward would be too cowardly to make the confrontation, and an actual gangster probably wouldn't care about being called a gangster as much as an innocent person.
