Fictional character from The Godfather series
Fictional character
Anthony Vito "Tony" Corleone is a fictional character in The Godfather film trilogy directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He is the son of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) and Kay Adams (Diane Keaton), and the older brother of Mary Corleone (Sofia Coppola). While Tony was not a major character in the first two films, major events in his life were the backdrop of key parts of the second film, and his relationship with his father is a plot point in the third film.
He is not mentioned by name in the novel, The Godfather. The film character was given the name Anthony after the three-year-old who portrayed him in the first appearance because he responded better to his own name.
