The Life of a Mob Wife in 1970s Brooklyn

A white envelope full of cash next to the bread box. No bank account. No name on the deed. That was how a mob wife in 1970s Brooklyn paid for everything, and it was the only money she'd ever see in her name. This video walks through the actual daily life behind the "mob wife" image. The Saturday mornings on 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst. The Sunday gravy that had been going since mass. The unwritten rules every wife followed without being told. The code of silence that covered everything from the 3 AM phone calls to the girlfriend everybody knew about but nobody mentioned. And the real stories of the women who lived it: Victoria DiGiorgio Gotti sewing her children's clothes in Howard Beach, Debra Scibetta losing her brother without knowing her own husband was involved, Karen Hill going from a dental office on Long Island to witness protection.

This is what the fur coat didn't tell you.
