![]() ![]() Soon, they not only become lovers, but she gets Dexter to show her where her father may have disappeared. She has long suspected Dexter had something to do with her father’s disappearance. Dexter also owns a swanky nightclub in Manhattan, and it is there one evening that Anna sees him. Meanwhile, Dexter Styles has moved even further up in the world, rubbing shoulders with bankers, and titans of industry that he has come to know through his father-in-law. Eventually, through dogged determination, luck, and skill she becomes a diver and inspects battleships in the murky waters of the East River before they are sent off to distant shores to wage battle for an America now at war. Fast forward eight years, and Anna-forced to be the main breadwinner for the fatherless family-is working as an inspector at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Before Eddie leaves the scene, he takes 11-year old Anna to meet a prospective new boss: a young mob leader named Dexter Styles. Many neighbors assume it was due to the crushing burden of caring for three dependents (one of them crippled) during the Great Depression. At home Anna’s mother cares for a sister, Lydia, suffering from cerebral palsy/muscular dystrophy (not sure which). Anna Kerrigan is the daughter of Eddie, who through union ties becomes tied to the mob as a lowly bagman. ![]()
