The pair were longtime admirers of each other's work and even performed together in the 1980s at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas.


Sounds great!

Frank Sinatra's home at the Jersey Shore was filled with intricately designed furniture, ornate sculptures, and stunning art from around the world.

However, it's been locked away in the now-closed Atlantic Club Casino Hotel, formerly known as the Golden Nugget.




Such stunning stuff!

The Chairman inspires this ditty:







Bravo!

First time I ever saw a photo of Ronan Farrow. Story claims that his biological father might have been Francis Albert and not Woody Allen. Based on the photo, I vote more than plausible.

Woody Allen has dark eyes. These photos reveal something else so it appears you are correct.







Amazing! I learned something there.

Mom Mia Farrow does not deny the possibility.
Genes don't lie but a DNA test has not been done to this point.

Ronan BTW got roasted by NYT Columnist Ben Smith (and former CEO of BuzzFeedNews) for his journalistic methods.

Frank Sinatra was offered the starring role in Die Hard when he was in his 70s.



Bruce Willis played the legendary John McClane in the Die Hard film franchise. But before Willis landed the role in the action-packed movies, the part was offered to singer Frank Sinatra, who was in his 70s at the time. While that may sound strange, it all has to do with a legal obligation.

The movie was based on the 1979 Roderick Thorp novel Nothing Lasts Forever, which was a follow-up to 1966's The Detective. In 1968, that novel had been made into a film starring Sinatra (not as John McClane, but as Joe Leland, a former New York cop who becomes a private investigator). When Sinatra signed on for The Detective, it was in his contract that the studio had to offer him the main part in the sequel. However, when that eventually happened, Ol' Blue Eyes refused the role.

To commemorate Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday, a look back at whether a key role in "The Godfather" was really based on him.


https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ ... s-a-844595


Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather received acclaim when released in 1969, but not everyone was a fan. Frank Sinatra was not pleased.

Sinatra would have turned 100 on Saturday. One of many tales intertwined with the legend's career is the persistent rumor that he was basis for singer (and Vito Corleone godson) Johnny Fontane — the similarities were so striking, in fact, even Sinatra was convinced.



Johnny Fontane = Frank Sinatra. Never a doubt. None whatsoever: http://www.destinationhollywood.com/mov ... ters.shtml

The Chairman loved choo choo trains:



http://www.go-star.com/antiquing/frank-sinatra.htm





Frank collected and operated toy trains, a hobby that should not be confused with model railroading. Toy trains are the big, heavy, colorful, noisy electric trains that were most popular from the 1920s to 1960s and were a fixture under most families’ Christmas trees. Almost every major department store had an operating layout on display during the holiday season.

'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' was pretty dark as originally written. It was brightened for Judy Garland in 'Meet Me in St. Louis' and further brightened for Francis Albert.
