Pat DiCicco (February 14, 1909 – October 24, 1978) was an agent and movie producer, as well as an alleged mobster working for Lucky Luciano. He married and divorced both Thelma Todd and Gloria Vanderbilt. He was a cousin of Albert R. Broccoli and gave him his well-known nickname "Cubby."

Relationships

Todd's marriage in 1932 to DiCicco was particularly unstable and frequently erupted in drunken brawls, one of which resulted in a broken nose for DiCicco and an emergency appendectomy for Todd.

At 17 years old, Gloria Vanderbilt went to Hollywood where she married DiCicco in 1941. DiCicco proved to be a temperamental and abusive husband who called her "Fatsy Roo," and regularly beat her. "He would take my head and bang it against the wall," Vanderbilt said. "I had black eyes." They divorced in 1945.

Ted Healy incident

DiCicco is alleged to have been involved in an altercation with comedian Ted Healy just before the latter's death in 1937, in which DiCicco and Wallace Beery beat Healy so badly that he fell into a coma and died. There is disagreement over whether Healy died as a result of the brawl or due to his well-known alcoholism. Due to the authorities' disinterest in investigating Healy's death, an autopsy was not performed until after Healy's corpse had been embalmed; rendering the examiner's note that Healy's organs were "soaked in alcohol" and useless in determining a cause of death.
