Netflix's new movie 'Capone', with Tom Hardy starring as the gangster while he slowly decays. Al Capone was married to his wife Mae, played by Linda Cardellini in the film, for the entirety of his adult life.

This is not to say he was even close to a faithful husband, engaging in numerous affairs and dabbling with multiple prostitutes at the height of his notoriety.

Many believe Capone was infected with the syphilis that would go on to kill him via a sex worker in his home city of Brooklyn.

Though Alexander Fleming’s 1928 discovery of penicillin laid the groundwork for syphilis to become the highly-treatable infection it is today, it was still in its early stages at the time Capone was suffering.
