SUMMARY:The Swinging\, Controversial Life Of Frank Sinatra
DESCRIPTION:Frank Sinatra was one of the most charismatic and controversial American entertainers of all time. \nHe was one of a kind!  \nClick here to read about his amazing record on Civil Rights. \nIn 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.” \n \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Humphrey Bogart And Lauren Bacall - Chemistry On Screen And Off
DESCRIPTION:Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall formed one of the most iconic movie teams of all time. Although they only made four films together – and one of them wasn’t very good at all – their legendary chemistry and amazing talent continue to dazzle audiences seven decades later. Individually\, they both had long and illustrious careers. Bogart was already a major movie star in his 40s with an Oscar and several failed marriages under his belt when he met the teenage model who had never before made a movie and who had been an usher at the St. James theater on Broadway just a few months earlier. \nDue to a variety of factors\, their film career together was short. Their happy marriage was cut short due to Bogart’s death from cancer. But the three great films they created have stood the test of time. In this fascinating multimedia presentation we will look at each of their lives and careers before they met. We will also examine Lauren Bacall’s long life and unique career after Bogart’s death.  As a bonus\, click here to read about some very unexpected move teams.
