The Rat Pack

Frank Sinatra

FRANK SINATRA was 44 and had been up, down, and up again by the time Ocean's Eleven came out. He was a crooning sensation during World War II, only to see his career go in the tank late in the same decade. By 1960 he was back on top, having rebuilt his career with an Oscar-winning role in From Here to Eternity and a series of comeback albums. So strong was his charisma (and arrogance, some said) that he was nicknamed 'The Chairman of the Board.' He was the leader of the pack.
