Don Corleone may refer to any one of the three major characters in Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather trilogy, namely:

  • Vincent Mancini-Corleone, Sonny's illegitimate son, played by Andy Garcia, who became Michael's successor and the third Don Corleone

Famous quotes containing the words don and/or corleone:

    Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    Friendship and money: oil and water.
