Hollywood Godfather

Charlie Corleone — bastard, playboy, tyrant, godfather. He would go on to become a world-famous novelist, screenwriter, producer, studio boss, and president of a powerful film and television empire. He built an entertainment and media tech group that shaped the industry. But years later, as he sits at the top of Hollywood, Charlie — and those who know him — often look back on how it all began.

Back then, no one gave him a chance. No connections. No mercy. Just grit, ambition, and chaos.

And it all started with a scandal involving rising superstar Will Smith.
