She had to be willfully overlooking how things really were for years and years. Was she just too much in love with Michael to wise up and get out while she could? Was she just enjoying the lifestyle he provided but couldn't help being judgmental about his "family" business? She always kind of irked me in the movies.

Of course, in the looks department she pales in comparison to Apollonia. But she couldn't help that I guess.

Dense...She should have figured out what was going on at the wedding and been gone then after Michel tells her the story.

Probably the biggest hipocrite in the series. It was ok for her to live on blood money somehow.

I always wondered about Kay: The Missing Years. Probably spent taking cruises, screwing gigolos and working on her writing. All on Michael's dime.

I know he lied to her at the end of I, but really go back and look at I. From the beginning he was pretty fricking clear about who his family was and what he was when he took control.

So go to II, she was just mad for being left alone at Lake Tahoe. A little more family time and freedom and she would have been happy, it had nothing to do with the family business.

Then by III she was just balls to the wall, but that's because Michael was resigned to writing her a check and letting her be an a-hole towards him.

Dense Victim

Michael told her early on about the family business and that wasn't him.

Then he lied to her face when he allowed her to ask him about his business.

Then he said the Corleone family was going legit when it clearly wasn't

Michael deserved the abortion thrown in his face but she was a bitch about it.

Bitch

She knew what Michael was and ate that shite up. She dreaded living her life on a skimpy teachers salary. She wanted the house and the cars and the private schools for her kids. Not to mention Rocko was drilling it behind the pool house. She knew Michael had Carlos killed and she went along with it. She deserved a pimp slap up side that winey bitch grill of hers.

Apollonia was definitely smoking (no pun intended).

Pisses me off that Fabrizio was involved in the attempt on Micheal that killed her. Don Tomissino must not have been running too tight of an operation to assign him as one of Michael's main bodyguards.

Well if it's any consolation, his arse gets killed in the book.

Yeah. But I guess there's something to be said for him since he survived when it seemed like most of the men had fallen victim to the the "vendettas".

Back to Kay - Sonny could have straightened her out with one night with his, er, "gift".

Kay is just an awful awful horrible person.

She knows who shes getting with and keeps coming back for more.

He was supposed to get killed in the GF. Fabrizio now runs a pizzeria in Buffalo and Michael goes up there and blasts him with a shotgun.

But the scene was cut. These stills are all that survive.





A scene was shot for GF II in which Fabrizio's car explodes (poetic justice). But that too was cut from the final print. However it can be seen in the chronological Godfather Saga.

Marries Michael after he abandoned her years ago. Knows wtf his business is all about. Aborts his child on her own as some defiance towards the life SHE chose.

frick her.

Silliness.

Appolonia versus Kay isn't even debatable.

And to add, if she had lived she would have been the perfect complement to Michael. She would have been the Sicilian wife that knows her place, but has her husbands ear. This couldn't happen as the story is about Michael and his journey from idealist to monster. His "relationship" with Kay furthers the cause.
