From the Frank DiLeo Michael Jackson Collection, this is Michael Jackson manager and famed record executive Frank DiLeo's "Goodfellas" movie production used shirts and screen worn wig. DiLeo wore these two short-sleeve, button down shirts during film production and wore the wig on screen in his portrayal of gangster Tuddy Cicero in Martin Scorsese's hit film. DiLeo, whose prolific career in the record business touched numerous artists, was best known for his work with Michael Jackson. The magic began when "Thriller" was released by Epic Records in 1982 and DiLeo was Vice President of National Promotion for the company. After the stellar success of "Thriller," Michael was so happy with Frank's innovative work in promoting the album, he asked DiLeo to become his manager and he managed Michael from 1984 to 1989, and partnered with Jackson again in 2009 for the “This Is It” concert series. DiLeo was the co-executive producer, along with Michael, for Michael's full-length movie “Moonwalker,” executive produced three of Michael's Pepsi-Cola commercials (including negotiating a landmark endorsement deal with Pepsi), and eight Michael Jackson music videos including the Michael’s Grammy winning video "Leave Me Alone". DiLeo oversaw Jackson's “Bad World Tour,” and the Jackson family's “Victory Tour.” And finally, DiLeo later partnered up with Jackson in 2009 for Michael's sold-out "This Is It" concert tour that sadly never took place due to the singer's tragic death eighteen days prior to the start. Very good condition. Comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity and a letter of provenance from the DiLeo family.
