“RAT PACK REUNION” 

After The Rat Pack disbanded 30 years ago, analysts have uncovered a coincidence! It is said that the reunion and formation of The Rat Pack was likened to ”going from funeral to flowers”.
To prove that the coincidence analysis is correct, let’s dig deeper into the issue: The meeting between the holy trio Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. was very coincidental, from which a spontaneous band was formed! Before that, all three of them fell into seemingly unsolvable entanglements, from personal life, career, to love. All were transformed and turned a new page.
Analysts discovered:
It was only after Ava Gardner shoved him into a black sea of ​​despair that Frank was able to transform from a washed-up bobbysox warbler into the undisputed master of the boozy saloon ballad.
Dean’s acrimonious (and most thought career-ending) break with Jerry Lewis allowed Dean to step out of the shadow of playing straight-man and into the light of master entertainer of all trades.
The traffic accident that cost Sammy an eye lent him a fresh perspective on life (literally and figuratively) that gave him his final boost into super stardom. They’d all been to bombsville and they knew there was always something in the rubble worth taking with them.
So, not every event that happens is unlucky, at the end of suffering is the beginning of a new opportunity. Our life is the same, just look at the positive side, everything will become more positive and better. Wish everyone will have their own miracles!

Frank & Yule – At Franks House – Palm Springs

Frank & Yule

At FRANK’S HOUSE

PALM SPRINGS




“Yul Brynner and his wife Doris were close friends of Frank Sinatra. They were at the Compound so often that they had their own room, hooked onto the great hall and marked with a bronze nameplate . Sinatra taught Doris Brynner how to mix a martini.
Doris Brynner: “We were there constantly – always! Always a helicopter or Sinatra’s plane. And everything was orange: the sofas, the chairs, the carpets. It was Frank’s favorite color. It was a compound, so cozy and great. It was a super-modern house. There were bungalows for the guests,so everyone was on his own except when they didn’t want to be. So civilized. I sat by the piano-shaped pool while Yul and Frank played golf nonstop. Yul won. Or was it Frank? Fierce competition.
He loved Spaghetti & Meatballs. And Lasagna. And the booze. The boys boozed a bit, you see… They would tell stories, have a few drinks, play the piano and sing. Such fun people. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Bill and Edie Goetz, us. Frank would sing duets with his records, Yul accompanying him on his guitar. Just another Saturday night.”
