Whats all this about a Boesky, Jim Brown and the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever?
Clearly it’s got something to do with the different skills that each gang member has, although I’m still puzzled as to which is which. I can guess that a “Miss Daisy” is a driver as in “Driving Miss Daisy”. If anyone’s got any other ideas let me know and I’ll put them here The following theory has been submitted… I agree with your thinking that a “Miss Daisy” is a driver, after “Driving Miss Daisy”, but in the movie the drivers are Virgil and Turk Malloy (Casey Affleck, Scott Caan) and this makes me think that they are actually the Jethros (because they come from Utah and they aren’t exactly the brightest guys ever – aka Jethro from the Beverly Hillbillies). I also suspect that the Boesky is Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) after Ivan Boesky, disgraced Wall Street inside trader. Tishkoff, like Boesky knew the insides and workings of a casino, and had plenty of money to sink into pulling off the heist. I’m also thinking that the Leon Spinks is Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle) after Leon Spink
