Mickey Spillane (mobster)
Michael J. Spillane, much better known as Mickey Spillane (July 13, 1933 – May 13, 1977), was an Irish-American mobster from Hell's Kitchen, New York City. Spillane, who was called the "last of the gentleman gangsters," was a marked contrast to the violent Westies mob members who succeeded him in Hell's Kitchen. Spillane was no relation to the author Mickey Spillane, or to the wrestler Michael Spillane.
==Life==
As a young boy in Hell's Kitchen, Spillane started as a numbers runner for various organized crime figures in his neighborhood. In 1960, Mickey took over the rackets left to him by his predecessor Hughie Mulligan. He married Maureen McManus, the daughter of the Democratic district leader Eugene McManus.
Though Italian mobsters dominated organized crime in the city, the Italian mob stayed out of Hell's Kitchen while Spillane was the boss. Often, Spillane would kidnap members of the Italian Mafia and hold them for ransom to raise money for his operations. Although he ran the rackets such as gambling and loansharking, he never allowed the sale of drugs.
It was Spillane's refusal to allow the Italian mobsters to participate in the Hell's Kitchen rackets that led to his downfall. The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center was being built on Spillane's westside. The amount of money the new convention center, Madison Square Garden, the waterfront and the unions were generating for Spillane was enormous, and the Italians were desperate for a piece of the action. Spillane refused to allow the Italian mob to participate, and the New York - Irish - Italian Mob War began.
