Famous Friends

On the one hand show business can be a tough life, but on the other it’s also like a big family. No one exemplified this tenet better than Frank Sinatra. His circle of friends reads like a who’s who of the world’s greatest entertainers. Nowhere was this more evident than in his creation of the legendary Rat Pack. Together with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop & Peter Lawford, Sinatra formed a show business fraternity that was and always will be the essence of “cool”. Discuss.

however rabbis choose to spell rabbi while near tony's old joint. that is what i meant to impart upon you fools. and, if you're ever in the mood to tell people to start spreading the news, you're leaving today, i suggest you to pack a small bag. but if you are catholic or jewish or baptist (Southern) or Mormon (American), please, seriously, sit down, shut up, and stay home in Vegas. Mr. and Mrs. Wynn's people did not grow up anti-semitic like you non-catholics and non-mormons did, but they may have preferred segregation when you wasp-mooya yanks 'from la' disturbed the serenity of Nevada, so stay thirsty, my friends.

i am not sure how to say this, but, someday howard schultz will discover the unamerican havoc and debauchery at many of vegas's starbucks, so, to you freaky spooky pretend o.g. fake master mobsters, relax. starbucks is not likely to rebuild stardust until after boyd gaming re-implodes the other t.i. allegedly. we just need to stay united as christians, catholics, and equal jewish Americans to make sure no dust blows onto the golf course off the georgeous east side of encore/wynn. viva la reve. you dirty rat ;pplease provide details for your public profile on sinatra dot com

Yes, it is a shame that the younger generations don't know the generation of the Great American Songbook. We as a society suffer from Musical alzheimer's because we have forgotten the great music that has gone before us. I say the music that has come before me I am in awe of,as well as the music of my formative years, while the music that comes after me I can't identify with.

It is a little more complex

It is a little more complex than that, actually... a main thing that I think should always be mentioned (since so many bogus stuff about that is written on the web) is that Sinatra, Dean, Sammy and the rest of the "Clan" in the late 50s/early 60s (including Shirley MacLaine) never referred to themselves as Rat Pack (only the press did), nor did they appreciate the term; they called their joint appearances "The Summit". Of course, they had their stage routine referring to each other repeatedly as "you dirty rat".

Frank emulated Bogie so much that when Bogie passed away,Frank was devestated to the extent that he couldn't attend Bogie's funeral.There is a picture in the early 50's of Bogie,Lauren Bacall, & fellow actors Richard Conte(Ocean's 11 & Film Noir), & others marching in Hollywood against McCarthyism & the Hollywood blacklist from the House on Un-American Activities Committee.I saw picture @ constitution exhibit @ the Phila. Constitution Center 8 yrs. ago. Picture is an embryonic look of group that later became(excuse the term)Rat Pack.
has anyone seen this picture?
