Al Pacino makes rare comments about his tragic mother who overdosed on drugs before he found fame
Al Pacino is considered a Hollywood legend, having starred in iconic films like the Godfather trilogy and Scarface.
He also starred in memorable films like Scarface (1983), The Godfather Part III (1990), Carlito's Way (1993), Heat (1995), Donnie Brasco (1997), The Devil's Advocate (both 1997), Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), and House of Gucci (2021). After starring as a heroin addict in The Panic in Needle Park (1971) he caught the eye of director Francis Ford Coppola, who cast him as Michael Corleone in iconic Mafia film The Godfather (1972). And because Pacino was still so early in his career, he reportedly only earned about $35,000 for his performance, which would be around $265,000 in today's dollars — well below a lead actor's expected payday for a massively successful Oscar winner made by a major studio.
