This article is terrible. First of all, it is poorly written. The sentences are jarringly abrupt. Also many of the factual details are incorrect. For example, I just corrected the "fact" that sarno was born during the great depression (He was born in '22, seven years before the crash...).

Someone needs to clean this article up badly.

For reference, check out Pete Earley's book "Super Casino." It has many many details about Sarno, and he really did his research.

Also perhaps worthy of mention is his uncredited cameo in Diamonds Are Forever as a sideshow barker in Circus Circus. 2001:558:6026:B:4A5:FECA:713B:BE42 (talk) 20:27, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Jay Sarno was born July 2, 1921. His parents were Polish-Russian. His father, Elais Sarnovich has his name changed to Alex Sarno after moving to St. Joseph, MO. (source: Jay Sarno Jr.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:C1C4:CE00:2D2C:23E4:E255:93D2 (talk) 19:30, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
