Alan Arkin.
If you haven't seen "The In-Laws" (1979 version), do yourself a favour ... "Serpentine !!!".

Really good in Catch-22 as Yossarian.

Tony Bennett, 96.
Waaaay past our eras I guess, but I respect and love all those great crooners. Bennett was fantastic. Sinatra. Dean Martin. Sammy. Love the Rat Pack.

Have a listen to Frank’s “One For My Baby”. The slow version. Fantastic. Great song to listen to on the road, late at night.

Yeh my dad loved talking about the rat pack. He loved SDJ most of all, claimed he saw him perform when he came to Australia.
He loved the fact you could hear the words of songs when they sang them!

I’m addicted to the Rat Pack and it’s history. Humphrey Bougart actually started with drinks at his with Hollywood home.
Try to read everything and watch every Doco.

Have you watched the 1960 Ocean's 11 movie ? A few members of the Rat Pack lead the Cast, IMO miles better than the remake.

But made for the same reasons, get a bunch of mates in Vegas and get paid. Genius.
