Al Pacino, The Godfather and Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola nearly fired Al Pacino from “The Godfather” a week into shooting: 'You're not cutting it'
When the time came to shoot Michael's wedding to Apollonia Vitelli (Simonetta Stefanelli) in Sicily, Coppola was still blowing gaskets over Pacino's unique, often circuitous approach to his performance. But the pair had developed a rapport that allowed Pacino to help them both shrug off Coppola's worries.
Al Pacino thought 'The Godfather' was going to be 'the worst picture ever made.' It made him and Francis Ford Coppola Hollywood icons and won 3 Oscars.
In his new memoir, "Sonny Boy," Al Pacino wrote that he and Diane Keaton were certain that "The Godfather" would end their burgeoning careers.
