Does the legacy of a notorious figure inevitably define the lives of their children? Steven Rosenthal, son of the infamous Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, embodies the complex interplay between inheritance and individual destiny, charting his own course amidst the towering shadow of his father's Vegas reign.
Frank Lawrence "Lefty" Rosenthal, born on June 12, 1929, and passing away on October 13, 2008, at the age of 79, was more than just a name whispered in hushed tones. He was a professional sports bettor, a former Las Vegas casino executive, and an associate of organized crime. His life, a high-stakes gamble in itself, became the inspiration for Martin Scorsese's iconic film, "Casino" (1995), where Robert De Niro portrayed Sam "Ace" Rothstein, a character heavily based on Rosenthal. The film, however, offered a dramatically condensed version of the Rosenthal family, depicting only a daughter, whereas, in reality, Frank and his wife, McGee, had two children: a son, Steven, and a daughter, Stephanie.
