TB,

Just to clarify, it's my understanding that because of Sinatra's friendship with a couple of mob members, and due to the fact that his career was somewhat in a slump, that many thought he got his role in "From Here To Eternity" because of pressure on the Hollywood bigwigs from the mob to let him star in the picture. Correct???

If I am correct, I assume no proof was ever given that it actually went down that way. Also, in your opinion, do you think there may be any truth to it? I know the Sinatra family denies it.

Another question, do you think that those who did believe that's how Sinatra got the part, was because of his mob "ties" only, or also because of his ethnicity? Just wondering, since I am interested in your opinion. ohwell

Thanks & Happy Holidays wink
