Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • Sammy Davis Jr
    Famous New Yorker Sammy Davis Jr. Sammy Davis Jr. struggled with racism for much of his career, but his success as a performer and celebrity helped Americans envision racial equality in the world of entertainment. Samuel George Davis Jr. was born in Harlem, New York City, on December 8, 1925. Sammy Davis Sr. was a dancer in a touring troupe led by Will Mastin. When his marriage broke up, Davis took Sammy Jr. on the road with the Mastin troupe. Junior was a precocious mimic of his father’s and Mastin’s dance moves and became their partner in the Will Mastin Trio. To dodge child labor laws, Mastin sometimes claimed that Junior was an adult midget. In 1933, Mastin and Davis took the seven year old to a Brooklyn movie studio to make his fi lm debut in the short subject Rufus Jones for President. Davis Sr. tried to shield his son as much as possible Sammy Davis Jr. with President from the bigotry of his time. Sammy Davis Jr. later Richard Nixon.

  • Frank's World
    Chris Rojek / Frank Sinatra Final Proof 9.7.2004 10:22pm page 7 one FRANK’S WORLD Frank Sinatra was a World War One baby, born in 1915.1 He became a popular music phenomenon during the Second World War. By his own account, audiences adopted and idol- ized him then not merely as an innovative and accomplished vocalist – his first popular sobriquet was ‘‘the Voice’’ – but also as an appealing symbolic surrogate for American troops fighting abroad. In the late 1940s his career suffered a precipitous de- cline. There were four reasons for this. First, the public perception of Sinatra as a family man devoted to his wife, Nancy, and their children, Nancy, Frank Jr and Tina, was tarnished by his high-octane affair with the film star Ava Gardner. The public face of callow charm and steadfast moral virtue that Sinatra and his publicist George Evans concocted during his elevation to celebrity was damaged by his admitted adultery. Sinatra’s reputation for possessing a violent temper – he punched the gossip columnist Lee Mortimer at Ciro’s night- club2 and took to throwing tantrums and hurling abuse at other reporters when the line of questioning took a turn he disap- proved of – became a public issue at this time. Second, servicemen were understandably resentful of Sina- tra’s celebrity status. They regarded it as having been easily achieved while they fought, and their comrades died, overseas. Some members of the media stirred the pot by insinuating that Sinatra pulled strings to avoid the draft. During the war, like most entertainers, Sinatra made a virtue of his patriotism in his stage act and music/film output.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Peter Lawford Story Life with the Kennedys Monroe and the Rat Pack by Patricia Lawford Stewart the Tragic History of the Rat Pack
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Peter Lawford Story Life with the Kennedys Monroe and the Rat Pack by Patricia Lawford Stewart The Tragic History Of The Rat Pack. The Rat Pack is the epitome of Mad Men- style old-school cool. As Colin Bertram of Biography tells us, the legendary group of entertainers were originally acquaintances who used to hang around at Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall's home in Los Angeles. Before their most famous line- up, they had a Who's Who list of satellite members that included David Niven, Spencer Tracy, and Robert Mitchum. They were by no means a "men only" club, either: Early on, legendary ladies such as Ava Gardner, Judy Garland, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn counted themselves in the group's ranks. In fact, the Rat Pack didn't even really want to be one. They actually liked to be called "The Summit" or "The Clan." Still, regardless of their full list of members or original naming aspirations, history has come to know the group as the Rat Pack, and Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop are considered its core members. As effortlessly awesome as the group appeared to be, there was actually a lot of turmoil and sadness behind the scenes. Today, we'll take a look at the tragic history of the Rat Pack. Peter Lawford's right hand. If you're hard-pressed to name an iconic Peter Lawford movie, you probably won't be alone. Though his IMDb page shows that his acting career was lengthy and impressive, his entry on the Hollywood Walk of Fame website tells us that Lawford also had a couple of other things playing in his favor.

Page 2 of 6 To me the greatest singer and entertainer outside the rock/traditional pop-genre, probably of all time, has got to be Frank Sinatra. There are many highly respected performers in show business when it comes to America alone and many great singers before him (Bing Crosby anyone?), but it´s hard to achieve something that Sinatra did in his long career - in today´s world almost impossible. Starting as a young singer in the popular “Tommy Dorsey Orchestra” in the early 1940s, shortly after that as a superstar to the screaming teenage-girls at “Columbia Records” (now as a solo artist), then in the 1950s recording several albums at “Capitol Records” that are considered as timeless classics now, and finally the era starting from the 1960s, when he founded his own record company “Reprise” and which lasted all the way to his death.

  • Electronic Press Kit - Rat Pack Ricky Medlin Saturday, June 9, 2018 4:54 PM
    Electronic Press Kit - Rat Pack Ricky Medlin Saturday, June 9, 2018 4:54 PM Ricky Medlin, aka "Rat Pack Ricky" began singing professionally at local restaurants near his home at the age of 18 after winning a worldwide talent contest sponsored by the United States Air Force. Ricky quickly became a favorite, and customers began calling the restaurant asking when the "Rat Pack Guy" would be performing next. The restaurants' management immediately nicknamed him "Rat Pack Ricky." These appearances quickly spread to other restaurants, private parties, weddings, city sponsored entertainment events, country clubs, and fairs. Ricky was selected as a dignitary to participate in the City of Burbank sponsored Parade. Ricky became a headliner at several posh local restaurants, which catered to a more sophisticated cliental. Ricky enjoys all styles of music, but was drawn at a very young age to some of the iconic performers from the Golden Age of Music to include: Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Bing Crosby, Louis Prima, Tony Bennett and Ricky Medlin aka "Rat Pack Ricky" more recently; Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. Ricky also performs hits from other favorites such as: Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Frankie Valle, Bobby Darin, Bobby Vinton, Johnny Rivers and many more. Each song brings back memories of what certainly felt like a simpler time. Ricky selects his music from an array of sources including professionally re-mastered backtracks; or a small to large orchestra depending on the clients preference and budget. Mind you, Ricky is not an impersonator! He merely performs these wonderful songs in his own style, flair, and powerful voice.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FRANK SINATRA SERIES HIGHLIGHTS PERFORMER’S ACCOMPLISHED FILM CAREER August 12–September 4, 2011 Frank Sinatra was one of the most popular and influential entertainers of the 20th century. His phenomenal success and influence was not limited to his career as a recording artist; he was also an accomplished movie star with surprising range as an actor. From August 12 through September 4, 2011, Museum of the Moving Image will present the four-weekend series The Films of Frank Sinatra celebrating Sinatra’s legacy as a performer on the big screen. The Museum will show a dozen of his finest films, ranging from musicals (On the Town, Pal Joey, Guys and Dolls) to dark melodramas (Suddenly!, The Manchurian Candidate, The Man with the Golden Arm) to war and action movies (From Here to Eternity, Von Ryan’s Express). Among the series highlights is a rare theatrical screening of Suddenly!, a 1954 thriller that eerily foreshadowed the JFK assassination, with Sinatra as a cold-blooded assassin who plots to kill the President (August 13); Vincente Minnelli’s powerful widescreen melodrama Some Came Running (August 27 and 28), starring Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Shirley MacLaine; and the Rat Pack movies Ocean’s Eleven (September 3 and 4) and Robin and the 7 Hoods (September 2 and 3). Frank Sinatra turned to working in film in the 1940s, just a few years after achieving success as a singer. His early musical comedies, costarring Gene Kelly—including the classic On the Town (1949), filmed largely on location in New York City—were box office smashes.
