SUMMARY:The Rat Pack - Icons Of Cool
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe Rat Pack – Frank Sinatra\, Sammy Davis Junior\, Dean Martin\, Peter Lawford\, and Joey Bishop – were the embodiment of cool for a short period of time in at the end of 1950s and into the very early 1960s. Their hipster talk\, bravado\, machismo and libertine lifestyle were an enormous influence on their times. Although the five of them were only together as a group for relatively short period of time\, their influence far outlasts their duration. Film clips\, anecdotes\, amazing stories and fiery personalities come together to make an unforgettable presentation! \nIn this fun\, fascinating and fast moving multimedia presentation\, we will look at the individual history and collective importance of the members of the Rat Pack. Each man has a compelling story – and collectively their impact has never been equalled.  \nAs an added bonus\, click here to read the fascinating story of how Frank Sinatra became a champion of Civil Right!

SUMMARY:The Swinging\, Controversial Life Of Frank Sinatra - Part One
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.
