Geri McGee story. In the film, the Rosenthals only have one daughter, Amy, while in real life McGee had three children. The film also implied that McGee was a part-time hustler (and perhaps a prostitute), and that her friend and lover Lester Diamond (played by James Woods) was her pimp and mentor since she was 14. In actuality, there is no evidence that McGee ever was a prostitute. The script also changed the couple's names from Geri McGee and Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal to Ginger McKenna and Sam "Ace" Rothstein (played by Robert De Niro), and Lenny Marmor to Lester Diamond.
