The Swinging, Controversial Life Of Frank Sinatra – Part Two
December 15, 2020 @ 11:30 AM - 1:15 PM
$5Frank Sinatra was one of the most charismatic and controversial American entertainers of all time.
He was one of a kind!

In this brand-new multimedia presentation I will trace the biography of Sinatra’s improbable life. We will look at his odd childhood as a skinny Italian street kid in working-class Hoboken, New Jersey. His father was a prizefighter turned saloon keeper; his mother was a hard drinking suffragette and political power in Hoboken who also made a living by performing abortions. We will look at Sinatra’s bumpy road to stardom. His career had so many ups and downs! From singing with the Harry James and Tommy Dorsey big bands to being the idol of the bobby sox brigades, in the early 1940s, Frank Sinatra seemed unstoppable. But when he avoided serving in World War II and musical tastes began to shift, his career went into a steep decline that was only rescued by the help of the Mafia and his amazing performance in the movie “From Here To Eternity.”
The rest of the story is equally fascinating. Swingin’ Sinatra, the Rat Pack, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, and civil rights are part of the story. So are Lucky Luciano, Sam Giancana, Skinny D’Amato, Jilly Rizzo, and the Mafia. (Click here to read about how Peter Lawford connected Sinatra to JFK!)We will look at all sides of the one and only Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra, in this one-of-a-kind presentation filled with video clips, amazing anecdotes, and insightful analysis.
