The Most Notorious Men Of The Rat Pack: Dean Martin And Frank Sinatra
A retrospective on the lives of two of the most charming crooners in modern culture.
Published: October 21, 2013 at 6:49 am EST
Heartbreakers, crooners, legends; timeless, eternal and incomparable: Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin had an unparalleled transformative power. In a world where jazz bands eternally played one velvety song after another and people were forever slow dancing, these icons had identical characteristics of grace, charm and suave. Counterparts in more than talent and charisma, they shared the same passion for music (also, women and liquor) that made them unsurpassed masters of music and class.

Famously known for always going their own way, the impact of their combined presence was nothing short of a kick in the head.
A paradigm of romance, Martin and Sinatra are characteristic of an undyingly evocative era of music and art

Despite all the achievements, Martin’s life wasn’t all beer and skittles. The toughest part of his life was undoubtedly the death of his son, Dean Paul Martin, in a jet-fighter crash.
Growing up, Dean Martin didn’t know what career path to follow, so he went through a variety of different jobs. When he was young, he worked as a liquor runner for bootleggers. At a later stage, he worked as an amateur boxer, a shoeshine boy, a gas station attendant, a steel mill laborer and a croupier – clearly a man of many talents. He later became famous for being a comedian, musician and actor. The first Ocean’s Eleven (1965) starred three of the Rat Packers: Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.

Frank Sinatra, most popularly known as ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’, is celebrated for his sensuous vocals and universal magnetism. Embodying a persona that universally appealed to men and women of all ages and backgrounds, his image and talent has withstood the test of time and is still unrivaled to this day.
It therefore comes as no surprise that with personalities so evenly matched, the two men were often thrown together. Perhaps Sinatra and Martin should have given each other a shot, since all the women in their lives didn’t quench their sexual appetites.
Very few people know that Sinatra was allegedly Mario Puzo’s inspiration for the character of singer Johnny Fontane in the book The Godfather.

Sinatra and the mafia?! With the kind of pull that man had, who DIDN’T see that coming?
The character of Johnny Fontane was of an Italian singer who had the same dulcet tones as Martin or Sinatra. The character had a way with women, enjoyed alcohol and didn’t quit while he was still ahead. The comparison might have flattered most men, but only served to anger Sinatra, who didn’t agree with the portrait Puzo had painted.

Convincing image, isn’t it? Guess what Fontane does to the director through his mafia contacts to get the spot on the movie he wanted?
wikipedia
Sinatra had been married a total of four times, each marriage more chaotic and public than the previous.

We suppose his dignity really knew no bounds.

His time with Ava Gardner, his second wife, was one of the most tumultuous ones in his life. He allegedly tried killing himself twice: once by slitting his wrists and the second by sticking his head in the oven at a friend’s apartment. Upon broaching the subject of Ava Gardner he once said:
‘I love her, and God damn me for it.’
Despite flaws so catastrophic, these men had an allure that verged on reverence. Their fans will forever be enchanted by the depth of their passion, hoping to witness a glimpse of the love that these men felt and sang about.
