NEW YORK — Gianni Russo was in “The Godfather” but says he never assaulted Talia Shire, as depicted in the eighth episode of “The Offer,” the docuseries about the making of the movie classic.
Russo said he considered suing Paramount Pictures and “Godfather” producer Al Ruddy, but now he’s tired of the legal process, and just wants an apology.
“There is no amount of money that will make me happy. I just want my good name back!” Russo told me.
