His parents sold bootleg booze in his Hoboken, N.J., hometown and his godfather was Genovese crime family kingpin Willie Moretti. Once he moved to Hollywood, Frank aligned himself with notorious West Coast boss Bugsy Siegel. Beauty queen Jo-Carroll Dennison can still recall “the awe Frank had in his voice” when he talked about the thug.

In 1947, Frank attended a four-day mob meeting in Havana, Cuba, presided over by infamous don Charles "Lucky" Luciano. After Frank performed, he returned to his hotel suite — and an orgy with 12 naked women! Yet when a columnist wrote about Frank’s presence at the crime convention, the crooner angrily declared, “Any report that I fraternized with goons or racketeers is a vicious lie!”

That didn’t stop the “Chairman of the Board” from palling around with gangster Sam Giancana! By then, Frank and his “Rat Pack” buddies — including Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford — were ruling Las Vegas and using their nefarious affiliations to booze, gamble and womanize their way through Sin City.

Then Frank’s bond with Giancana went south over the star’s friendship with John F. Kennedy, whose attorney general brother, Bobby, was investigating the mob. The heat was on — and it almost got Frank killed! “Let’s hit Sinatra!” a soldier named Johnny Formosa suggested to Giancana. “Let’s show those Hollywood fruitcakes that they can’t get away with it!” But Giancana refused to sanction the murder.

The FBI kept a file on him, compiling 2,400 pages of records, but Frank’s love life was almost as wild as his links to the mob. He was divorced three times before exchanging vows with Barbara, first to childhood sweetheart Nancy Barbato in 1939. The marriage lasted 12 years until Frank cheated with Ava Gardner, who became his second wife in 1951. That union was a mess of booze-fueled beatings, an abortion and affairs.

Frank and Ava even had a three-way with Lana Turner! Frank’s insane passion for Ava led him to attempt suicide twice. Their divorce dragged on for years before being finalized in 1957. Frank remained a free agent until, at age 50, he wed 21-year-old Mia Farrow in 1966. The tumultuous relationship ended after two years. Yet Mia continued to carry a torch for Frank, claiming they “never really split up” and that it was possible he, not longtime partner Woody Allen, sired her son Ronan!

Frank’s list of ladies was a "Who’s Who" of Hollywood Hotties. They included Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall, Juliet Prowse, Angie Dickinson and even former First Lady Nancy Reagan! Between his romances and criminal cohorts, his boozing and gambling, his temper and talent, Frank was larger than life. Whatever he did, he did it his way!
