I was in a meeting once with Mr. Coppola and he told me that if it weren’t for the winery, he’d been dead flat busted broke a long long time ago.

He needed to counter the subliminal message of his movie’s lead actor’s name.

The LA Times too picked up on this – how interesting…

Gee, I wonder where they got the idea to mention it?
