Al Capone didn't go from being a gangster to one of Hollywood's most famous people, but do you know who did make the transition from crook to movie star? Danny Trejo, that's who! Find out how he went from a life of crime to the sweet life of a Hollywood superstar by watching this related video: ruclips.net/video/lo4_BtiD_r8/видео.html
I'm from Wisconsin. Al Capone used to hide out from the law up in Door County, Wisconsin, which is a quaint, little vacation destination to this day. Lots of ghost stories are told up there, some of which have to do with missing federal agents from those days, and "Jason," a boy rumored to be Al Capone's illegitimate son who was found hung in the attic of an old hotel. Beneath Egg Harbor (in Door County) there are old Native American tunnels (closed now for safety) where Capone put anyone that crossed him.
AL hated the nickname "Scarface". When the Howard Hughes movie "Scarface" was released in 1932, it was loosely based on Capone's life. Al Capone enjoyed the movie. 😎 (However, some of Capone's henchmen showed up at a Producer's place, pre-release, to "make sure the movie wasnt about their Boss".) 😉
Mr. Garfelk - I don't see where anyone is mad. They simply corrected a pretty obvious mistake by the op. You must be one of those little kiddies that chime in saying, "You mad, bro?" even though no one actually is. And Mike Hawk is right.... the op did indeed thoroughly fuck it up! Hell, you couldn't even spell "fucking" right but you think people are mad? Oh boy - we got a real winner here, folks.... lol
I knew this one but I still loved the video. What I (shamefully) didn't know, or maybe didn't remember(?), was how Capone died. I question remember not because I want to be a know-it-all god-forbid, but out of shame for how many assignments I did on this guy and how little I remember now lol.
I found the still at 00:32 interesting, the Chicago paper is "dated October 17, 1931" yet one of the headlines says "Thomas Edison died" when he died October 18th 193. How come is like that? he died 3:24 AM New Jersey which would be 2:24 AM Chicago
Do you want to know how I got these scars? My father was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me, and he says, "Why so Serious?" He comes at me with the knife, "Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth, "Let's put a smile on that face!" And...Why so serious?
And it could have gone a whole different way. Frank Galuccio ( I hope I spelled it right) was a made guy at the time. Capone was lucky he wasn't killed outright, and it went the way it did because of Frankie Yale. Not Al Capone.
The1stFishBone I wanted to see if Oct. 17 1931 was really the day Thomas Edison died which was the date on the newspaper. Turns out he dies on the 18th. And I can't find any record of the "sunday" Tribune. They must not have permission to use real newspaper images so they just make one up in photo shop. The real Tribune front page from then looks different.
That's some impressive research. But the Chicago Tribune from the 18th did the same thing, putting the Capone headline first (archives.chicagotribune.com/1931/10/18/page/1/article/u-s-jury-convicts-capone). So still, fuck Chicago!
bldeagle10 he carved them into his own face during a fit of insanity to prove a point when a gang Lord started to question his loyalty during his younger years
Black Virtue William Balsamo tells us he interviewed Frank Galluccio(the man who gave Capone his scars) in 1965 and that he cut Capone's face in The Harvard Inn in 1917, while Capone was working for Frankie Yale. After the incident they had a sit-down that included Joe "the Boss" Masseria and Luciano. After that everything was resolved. There are several problems with the story. First, according to the FBI, Galluccio had died in 1963 or earlier, so he could not have met with Balsamo in 1965. Another problem is that in 1917 Capone was working in box factory. Frankie Yale was not connected to The Harvard Inn until 1920, and there's no evidence that Masseria and Luciano knew each other until the early 1920s. Finally, Balsamo says that Galluccio's sister's name was Lena. He had only one unmarried sister at the time, and her name was Teresa or Tessie. Based on all that, I'd say that Balsamo -- who's the source for this story -- made it all up.
SilentBudgie Someone who calls himself SilentBudgie is complaining because I have the RUclips name of Frodojack! Not much hypocrisy in that criticism, is there? Sorry, but I don't take attacks from birds. LOL Ha ha ha!

Nume Moon I love this story, thank you =)
No problem, Sami. Here's a 2009 NYT article you might enjoy: www.nytimes.com/2009/06/26/travel/escapes/26Gangster.html?_r=0
Nume Moon thanks!!
Check out the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul too. St. Paul, MN was a notorious hangout for gangsters in the 20's and 30's.
That's good to know, thanks for sharing!

The nickname came before the novel, and then the movie.
They forgot to mention Capone later hired him as his bodyguard.
My computer programming teacher was a nephew of the person that gave him this scar. The story is pretty damn accurate.
I love this channel! It's so interesting and answers so many questions I've wondered about all my life!

THANK YOU : )
wait why
Thank you
Rafiki Mzuri thanks man
Rafiki Mzuri thank u
My grandma once had a crazy story about meeting Al Capone and some odd thing that happened and I wish I remembered it!
Joker: "Do you know how I get my scars?"
its also "Got" for past tense...
+*Jiehao Xie*, You thoroughly fucked that up . . .
Jiehao Xie i love how mad everyone got . Fucing nerds lmaoooo
Mr. Garfelk - I don't see where anyone is mad. They simply corrected a pretty obvious mistake by the op.

Meanwhile through all this BS no one answered the question.
great video man!
frankie yale is my great great great uncle, i grew up with these stories, so interesting!
Very interesting video. Enjoyed the watch
I knew this one but I still loved the video. What I (shamefully) didn't know, or maybe didn't remember(?), was how Capone died. I question remember not because I want to be a know-it-all god-forbid, but out of shame for how many assignments I did on this guy and how little I remember now lol.
I wonder what the interest was that Yale set for that loan?
As high as possible. He could always tell that guy that he saved his life to make him shut up.
It wasn't that much money considering. If it happened today you'd be bankrupt and in jail.
My father-in- law frank gulluscio the one that gave him the scars we talked about it at family dinners and Gatherings all the time
Joker: You want to know how I got these scars?
How was ice made and kept back then?

Very Very Cool Video
One of my friend's families was neighbors with the guy who gave the scar.
I found the still at 00:32 interesting, the Chicago paper is "dated October 17, 1931" yet one of the headlines says "Thomas Edison died" when he died October 18th 193. How come is like that? he died 3:24 AM New Jersey which would be 2:24 AM Chicago
Yeah I'm al Capone I escaped from Alcatraz by submarine to the south bay under the golden gate bridge
I've always wondered!
From eating pinnaples
very good videoshared on facebook

It was at the Shark Bar on 4th ave.
The story about scars begins at approx 6.00.
I just went to the tunnels for a field trip.
Wasn't he in moosejaw saskatchewan Canada in the tunnels of moosjaw "posted at videos start"
nice video but you should pronounce the E in Capone's name :)
So Al Capone got his scars from a Bootycall gone wrong
😂 😂 😂 I'm disappointed. He is a bitch.
the newspaper shown at 0:36 has Thomas Edison dying as a small story on the front page, big news day.
I wonder how much history would have changed if Al's jugular would have been slashed and Al bleeding out with that fight?
wow. Three TIFO within a single day.
@5:27
And it could have gone a whole different way. Frank Galuccio ( I hope I spelled it right) was a made guy at the time. Capone was lucky he wasn't killed outright, and it went the way it did because of Frankie Yale. Not Al Capone.
How are both this guy and the dude with the beard named Simon Whistler?
today i found out two things, woo
Lansky and Seigel didn't work for Paul Keeey. They worked for Arnold Rothstein.
kony island 2012 (i know its not spelt that way, let me have my fun)
0:30 How the fuck is Thomas Edison dies the 2nd headline? Fuck Chicago.
The1stFishBone I wanted to see if Oct. 17 1931 was really the day Thomas Edison died which was the date on the newspaper. Turns out he dies on the 18th.

The1stFishBone Haha! That is a good point.
I never checked the 18th just the 17th. Good find.
headline:
Major Patent Thief died today!
The1stFishBone A dangerous leader of organized crime being arrested is pretty important.
Scarface???
Oi got big fucking house in Maiamy u kno? It's huge
I think its almost more shocking that apparently Thomas Edison died the same day as Capones arrest and thats the part that gets top billing.
So Capone's case was top story over Thomas Edison's death??
How long before Al Capone's goonies flag this video because it's spreading lies about their boss?
YoungD3mon314
-----------Joke-----------
-----------Your Head-----------
It wasn't funny though
I just had an Idea. What about a Zombie-Gangster Game set in a postapocalyptic Chicago?
Damn, Frank Yale was all business alright....
Al would later took him out though. It was also business.
so capone killed the guy after he became the boss right ?
Scar tissue loce luis aka peace in state to city migrinse
But how did the joker ACTUALLY get HIS scars?
bldeagle10 he carved them into his own face during a fit of insanity to prove a point when a gang Lord started to question his loyalty during his younger years
Fact boy without his beard just feels wrong
You wanna know how I got these scars?
You hit on a girl too often and her midget brother cut you?
what does half this video have to do with Al Capone
& that's why u get ur syphilis treated kids
the hair coming out that shirt distracting me
hardly a scarfaced individual.
Ahahahaha... of course. It was womanizing that did it. I knew a Capone in college and he, too, was a womanizer. Too funny.
he knew a guy which had the same name
OC Beezilla Yup, I went to college with a family member of his. You know how people have kids, and then their kids grow up and have their own kids?
+Catopus r u kidding me, 118???? runt of the bunch i presume...
ZBP 65U....
Mercy fuck them all... .!
So, did he actually fight in WW1? He was definitely old enough, to lie about is age convincingly at least.
No, he never went to war, and was never enlisted in the U.S. Army
Ohh.
Much of the info in this video is wrong. Even the Chicago Tribune front page cover isn't real.

Your name isn't Frodojack and you aren't a dog, so don't go accusing other people of lying.
