Mr. Egan was the tough-talking New York City police officer whose
exploits inspired the Academy Award winning film Kẻ Đầu Mối Pháp (1971). With partner
Sonny Grosso, he managed a 112-pound heroin bust in 1962, one of the biggest
in New York's history. Mr. Egan was nicknamed 'Popeye' and was played
in Kẻ Đầu Mối Pháp (1971) by Gene Hackman. Mr. Egan played the role of his own boss. Mr.
Egan, who retired to Fort Lauderdale, FL, in 1984, died "the toughest
cop in New York", said Cheryl Kyle-Little, who shared a home with him.
Kyle-Little said Mr. Egan was working on a movie deal at the time of
his death.
