NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED: Frank Sinatra Photos"To mark the 11th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's death (May 14), LIFE's editors dug into our archives and discovered a gem: a set of never-before-published photos that show the Chairman of the Board, then 40 years old, in a series of TV appearances (including on Steve Allen's show, pictured) on August 19, 1956"

"Martin Scorsese is bringing Ol’ Blue Eyes to the bigscreen.Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures are teaming on "Sinatra" and have brought on Scorsese — who has long flirted with a biopic on singer-actor Frank Sinatra — to direct and produce.
Phil Alden Robinson is writing the screenplay.
Although no actor is attached to star in the film, Schulman said Leonardo DiCaprio is an obvious candidate because he has become Scorsese’s go-to actor over the past decade, having starred in the director’s past four features: "Gangs of New York," "The Aviator," "The Departed" and the upcoming "Shutter Island." Because any music in the film will come from Sinatra’s recordings, it will not be necessary to cast an actor who is a proficient singer.
"The responsibility we are taking on to tell his story — that would cause anyone to be very careful about who they grant these rights to," she added. "Everyone knows that Marty Scorsese is a final-cut director. So there had to be a lot of trust that he would tell this story in a way that didn’t destroy (Sinatra’s) memory."Project marks the first bigscreen pic to be made about the Hoboken, N.J., native, whose life provided endless fodder for the gossip columnists because of his tumultuous love affairs, infamous friendships with the likes of President Kennedy and possible Mafia ties. Schulman described the story as an unconventional biopic that will touch on all phases of Sinatra’s life.
"My father had great admiration for the talent of the people he chose to work with, and the talented people who worked with my father had great admiration for him," said Tina Sinatra. "It is personally pleasing to me that this paradigm continues with Marty Scorsese at the helm of the Sinatra film."Source: www.variety.com
Hi Kendra,
ReplyDeletecome stai ?
F.Sinatra รจ veramente meraviglioso...amo molto la sua voce, che secondo me non ha eguali nel mondo intero...
Buona settimana xoxo
Frank Sinatra, my father is an avid listener of his, and his influence was huge, in cinema and music, even Lou Reed looks up him (Reed praised "Seventeen" as one of his favourite songs!)
ReplyDeleteI think DiCaprio would be a good election, because half of his genes are Italian, and those blue eyes are the perfect match (the only flaw is the singing skills).
I'm moderately good, thanks for asking, Rosa! I hope you have a good weekend :) xoxo
