Last Updated On: January 27th, 2021 Frank Lefty Rosenthal and his wife, Geri, had a tempestuous relationship that inspired a primary storyline in the 1995 movie
Casino.
In September 1980, during an argument with her husband, Geri Rosenthal waved a gun around outside their house in the gated Las Vegas County Club Estates.
The weapon was a chrome-plated, .38-caliber snub-nose handgun. Geri Rosenthal’s name was engraved on the pearl handle.
