Johnny Fratto | Howard Stern guest, 61

Johnny Fratto, 61, a Hollywood man-about-town, self-described Mafia guru, and a popular frequent guest on Howard Stern's radio program, died in a Los Angeles hospital Thursday of lung cancer, according to his wife, Jowanka.

The dapper Mr. Fratto dabbled in film and television. He also owned the custom motorcycle business Beverly Hills Choppers.

Though Mr. Fratto's father, was a prominent mob figure in the Midwest, and his son often hinted he had his own Mafia connections, his wife said that actually wasn't true. - AP
