“The Godfather,” one of Hollywood’s landmark films, marked its 40th anniversary


“The Godfather,” one of Hollywood’s landmark films, marked its 40th anniversary over the weekend. To honor Don Corleone and Co. — and yes, we know this is a stretch – here are five other famous “Dons”:

v Don Adams: Would you believe the “Get Smart” star’s real last name is Yarmy?

v Don Kirshner: He did bring rock ’n’ roll to late-night TV, so you’ve got to give him major props for that.

v Don Johnson: Many swooned because his “Miami Vice” character, Sonny Crockett, sported a two-day stubble, Armani jacket and pastel T-shirts. But even better was the fact that he had a pet alligator named Elvis.

v Don Knotts: Everyone loved him as meek Barney Fife on “The Andy Griffith Show,” but he was just as endearing as leisure-suit-wearing landlord Ralph Furley on “Three’s Company.”

v Don Rickles: Turned the hockey puck from a piece of sporting-goods equipment into a term of insult.
