Best Answer

In 1917, Al Capone was working as a bouncer for New York mob boss Frankie Yale in Coney Island. He got into an altercation with a New York mobster named Frank Galluccio because Capone kept staring at Galluccio's sister. The story goes that Capone told Galluciio's sister, "Honey, you got a nice a** and I mean that as a compliment, believe me." Galluccio overheard this and went crazy and demanded an apology which Capone refused, insisting it was all a joke. Galluccio became even madder and slashed Capone three times across the left side of his face. Later Capone did apologize after being reprimanded by the New York mob bosses. Evidently the scars bothered Capone. He would apply powder to his face and preferred to have photos taken on his right side.

He claimed he received the scar while fighting with the Lost Battalion in France during WW1. Actually, he was knifed in Brooklyn in a saloon, in a fight over a woman. He never served in WW1

The real Scarface, Al Capone, did have a scar on his face. He insulted a woman while working the door at a Brooklyn night club, provoking a fight with her brother Frank Gallucio. Capone's face was slashed three times on the left side. When photographed, Capone hid the scarred left side of his face and would misrepresent his injuries as war wounds.
