Remember the rumor that Nancy Reagan slept with Frank Sinatra?

From a short bio:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/265714.stm

<snip>
However, the wholesome all-American marriage came in for criticism on occasion. A biography of Nancy by Kitty Kelley in 1991 contained allegations that she had had an affair with Frank Sinatra.

It said that Nancy had invited Sinatra to the White House for lengthy luncheons and instructed staff not to disturb them.

Sorry, but the saturation coverage may have driven me nuts - plus, you got to admit - this is a great picture:

Nancy Sinatra?

LMAO!

I will post it if it hasn't been posted already as it's own post.. :)

....it tells about Nancy being the "blow job queen" of Hollywood! LMAO!! Every time I heard that freaking "Just say NO" biz, all I could think of was, "Wonder how often Nancy said NO to anything?!?!?" She was knocked up when she and Ronnie got married....no big deal...but to later act like some righteous shit - that is total BS!!

she could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. I suspect that she was a very popular date back then.

But I hear a lot of things.... ;)

"well-endowed" so maybe Nancy was intrigued.

Frank Sinatra was so endowed that one of his wives, famous actress Ava Gardner, said of him, "He only weighs 120, but 100 pounds is cock."

and Nancy came on. I really don't feel any animosity toward her this week (last and next are other stories), but I casually mentioned the casting couch stories, and my 22-year-old son nearly horked. (He's a Sinatra fan.)

great picture

claims that Nancy was the blow job queen of Hollywood during her starlet days. Apparently, she was quite good at applying herself during weekend drives up the Pacific Coast Hwy. And people said she had no talent...Bah!

Hey, man - have you seen this movie The Killers? Apparently it's this awful pseud-noir thing with Reagan as a heavy.

and two-bit Reagan can't hold a candle to the mighty Lee Marvin.

... nothing fake - just a hard, gruff sumbitch - Point Blank is the s***, though - got Angie Dickinson, too.

a gentleman's club founded by Jim Jarmusch. It's members include John Lurie, Willem Dafoe, Nick Cave, Iggy Pop. Pretty illustrious company, huh?

Point Blank is great.

The 1946 version (directed by Robert Siodmak) is better, but the 1964 (directed by Don Siegel, who also did the "Dirty Harry" films) is good too. And Reagan is incredibly smarmy in it...

From Salon, "The Gipper's Dark Side" by Charles Taylor:

"I believe in larceny. Homicide is against my principles."

That's Ronald Reagan speaking, in his last film role as mobster Jack Browning in Don Siegel's 1964 "The Killers." It was the only time Reagan ever played a heavy, and according to costar Clu Gulager, he despised the film. "Ronnie is a nice man," Gulager quickly adds.

A nice man would despise this movie (made for NBC and then released in theaters after the network turned it down for being too violent). Cold, mean and unrelievedly brutal, "The Killers" radiates cynicism and contempt and cruddiness. It's a movie that opens with blind people being slapped around by a pair of hit men (Lee Marvin and Gulager who, in a touch that feels like a sick joke, wear dark glasses) and ends with every major character dead. Forty years later, it also works as a prophetic shadow history of Ronald Reagan's political career and the America that career brought forth. "The Killers'" window on Reagan's dark side may be the best antidote to the Reagan hagiography.

Over the course of "The Killers," the idea of watching Ronald Reagan as a brutal mob boss seems at first a thrilling act of self-desecration on Reagan's part; by the end of the movie, it seems perfectly reasonable. Throughout the movie, the familiar and predictable break free of their moorings. You feel as if you should be able to dismiss it as just another cheesy gangster movie. And yet its sordidness adds up. By the early '60s, the classical Hollywood studio filmmaking of the '30s and '40s had become mummified. Made on the cheap at Universal (as nearly everything at the studio was then), "The Killers" reeks of that calcification. There isn't a breath of fresh air or reality in "The Killers." The movie is filled with obviously phony rear projection and cardboard sets that can't convince you for a second that you're seeing real streets, hospital rooms, hotels, flophouses. No place in this movie seems like anywhere that anyone real could actually exist. And Universal's notoriously cheap color processing renders everything washed-out, sickly, flat.

Then Nancy Slep with Nancy


http://sludgereport.blogspot.com/

... and who was getting walked on?

say it ain't so.

As Shirley MacLaine relates:

…he (Sinatra) hated Richard Nixon with deep vitriol, then ended up campaigning for him. He thought Ronald Reagan was a "stupid bore who couldn't get a job in pictures, which is why he went into politics." He threatened to move out of California if Reagan ever got elected to public office. He thought "Nancy was a dumb broad with fat ankles who couldn't act." But when Jesse Unruh, former Speaker of the California Assembly and a Bobby Kennedy loyalist, ran against Reagan for governor, Frank decided to support Reagan.

Why? Because of Sinatra's association with the Mafia. Frank supported Reagan to get back at Bobby.

Besides, Frank was very particular about his women's physical attributes. He even disparaged Kim Novak, saying she had heavy legs, but her face made up for it. I find it hard to believe he could be attracted to Nancy Reagan.
