I remember the hubbub when this was published. Frank Sinatra was NOT happy.

When I think of Frank Sinatra it's hard not to think of #TheHat that was worn rakishly tilted and was oh-so stylish. This book still sits on my shelves, it's a fun read that capture's Sinatra's style & the style of the fifties-sixties. I love books on old Hollywood fashion & glamour. 🎩🍻👗🍾

Cinfhen Look at those blue eyes 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 5y
LMJenkins I'm really fascinated by the idea that Ronan Farrow is his son and not Woody Allen's. The likeness is pretty striking. 5y
KarenUK What a clever take on today‘s prompt! ... and so stylish! (His performance in ‘High Society‘ is my favorite 😍🎶💕) 5y

mom2bugnbee @Cinfhen I had a Siamese mix cat (no longer with us, but lived 20 years!) who I named Sinatra due to her blue eyes. It was so sad how many younger people didn't understand her name! 5y
Tex2Flo Now that‘s a nice hat! 5y
Cinfhen What a great name for a cat @mom2bugnbee she most have been a beauty. 5y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Gorgeous, right?! 💙and I agree @LMJenkins that the resemblance between them is striking. @KarenUK I love him in High Society too! 😍 @mom2bugnbee I bet she was gorgeous.🐱💙 @Tex2Flo Yes! He wears it well! 😉 5y

The BEST biography on the late entertainer, Dean Martin. To read any other book on Dino is to waste your time.

Reading with my ipad & phone so I can look up all the places. Just learned that I work across the street from the cemetery where many huge celebs are buried; that Matteo‘s restaurant near my home was Sinatra hangout. Spaces hold the DNA of what came before and I feel the past‘s presence strongly.
This book is wonderful trip through a city and time. Lots of good gossip too! Book # 1

Litsi And a new thought. The Rat Pack was an ad campaign for the joys of drinking alcohol which of course was controlled by Sam Giancana. “My Kind of Town” takes on a whole new meaning as a pledge of loyalty to the Chicago mob. 6y
Litsi Sinatra didn‘t “get” Elvis. He would listen obsessively to All Shook Up and Teddy Bear to understand why they were popular. He refused to call it art. Interesting discussion about the transition in music from Sinatra to Elvis and eventually Rock n Roll. 6y

Making some progress now that I bought myself a fancy new speaker for my audiobooks! Can‘t wait to use it more. Loving hearing about the relations of Sinatra and the mob. Super interesting and really reminds me of my grandfather!
