Easy Street (book)

Easy Street (book)

Easy Street (1981) is the first memoir of Susan Berman, daughter of Las Vegas mobster David Berman. In it, Berman chronicles her mother Gladys' and her own obliviousness to what went on around them. When they finally became aware of their mob family, Berman's mother ended up dying in a mental institution and Susan endured a lot of psychotherapy.

Susan Berman wrote a second memoir about her life called Lady Las Vegas.

In what remains an unsolved crime, Berman was murdered in her home in 2000 in classic mob execution-style.
