Frank Lucas Story: The Return of Superfly
Font size:
Lucas, the heroin kingpin of the New York City in the 70's was profiled by the New York Magazine in August, 2000. The new hit movie American Gangster was written based on this profile by writer Mark Jacobson.
In the story Lucas says:
"One-sixteenth Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenue was mine. I bought it. I ran it. I owned it," Lucas says. "When something is yours, you've got to be Johnny-on-the-spot, ready to take it to the top. So I'd sit in Nellybelle by the Roman Garden Bar, cap pulled down, with a fake beard, dark glasses, long wig . . . I'd be up beside people dealing my stuff, and no one knew who I was . . ."
