Sorry.  I guess that I thought that Lefty Rosenthal was an icon.  Here's a brief list of what he was known for - His first name was Frank.  He was a Las Vegas legend.  He ran three casinos in his day and more or less brought legal sports book to Vegas etc. The movie "Casino" loosly portrayed his life.  If you saw the movie, Robert DiNero played him (Roth).
