Wikipedia says he was sentenced to twenty years, but only served six and was out of prison by 1978. It also says that, in a roundabout way, the robbery did pay for his boyfriend's sex change operation. Wojtowicz paid for reassignment surgery using the money he received from the Dog Day Afternoon producers for the rights to his story. That irony aside, his story doesn't seem to be a happy one from the few details given. Wojtowicz's girlfriend died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1987 and he was reported to be living on welfare in 2003. He died of cancer in 2006.J.O'Connornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-66098985543865506702012-08-23T13:19:27.000-04:002012-08-23T13:19:27.000-04:00My favorite Pacino for sure.
