Review: SINATRA THE MUSICAL, Aldwych Theatreby Franco Milazzo - UK / West End

He had a thick New Jersey accent and a thin skin, punching one critic in the back of the head and physically threatening other members of the press. His friendship with mob members and their goons supposedly helped him out of a recording contract and for decades the FBI kept a file on him running to thousands of pages.

At the age of 48, he dated a teenage Mia Farrow and the two eventually married in 1966.
