  • Noel Bon Tempo TAH September 27, 2012 the Life of Frank Sinatra
    Noel Bon Tempo TAH September 27, 2012 The life of Frank Sinatra spans the majority of the 20th Century. He entered the world in Hoboken, New Jersey, on December 12, 1915. He died on May 14, 1998. His cultural impact is the subject of Pete Hamill’s extended essay, “Why Sinatra Matters.” Hamill knew Sinatra. He spoke with Hamill on numerous occasions in the 1970’s and 1980’s in anticipation of writing a biography of the singer. Frank Sinatra was the son of immigrants. He was a high school dropout who worked dead-end jobs while dreaming of becoming a singer. He never learned to read music and became, arguably, the most accomplished and famous musician of the 20th Century. Hamill’s work is “. an unusually thoughtful contribution to the growing body of literature of appreciation of Sinatra as an artist, a supreme interpreter of the great American popular song.” (Kirkus Review) Hamill focuses his investigation of Sinatra’s life on his rise to stardom from his hard-scrabble days in Hoboken to his fall from grace in the late 1940’s to his stunning comeback in the 1950’s. As such, this is a story of redemption and reinvention. This type of story strikes a particular chord in the American psyche. Begun by Benjamin Franklin’s “Autobiography”, affirmed by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sinatra’s story of redemption is modeled by his contemporaries such as Malcolm X and Richard Nixon, and in contemporary society by Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey. (Redemptiveself) Sinatra’s life exemplifies some of the major cultural and social movements of the 20th Century.

  • 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.

  • Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture
    OCULREV Fall 2012 Rostron 323-395 (Do Not Delete) 12/17/2012 10:59 AM OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VOLUME 37 FALL 2012 NUMBER 3 ARTICLES THE LAW AND ORDER THEME IN POLITICAL AND POPULAR CULTURE Allen Rostron I. INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • Frank Sinatra: the Popular Front and an American Icon
    FRANKScience SINATRA & Society, Vol. 66, No. 3, Fall 2002, 311–335 311 Frank Sinatra: The Popular Front and an American Icon GERALD MEYER ABSTRACT: Frank Sinatra, a vocalist who helped raise Ameri- can popular music to an entirely new level, is one of the most chronicled celebrities of modern times. Nonetheless, the extent of his involvement with the left has gone largely unreported. Sinatra played an active role in a score of Popular Front organi- zations. In contrast to most other celebrity leftists, he also actively fought against racism and intolerance by speaking widely, includ- ing at high schools where racial incidents had occurred. Vicious red-baiting contributed to an astounding downward spiral in his career, and caused him to distance himself from the left. Despite harassment of various kinds, Sinatra maintained close ties to the liberal wing of the Democratic Party until 1972, when he abruptly moved to the right. Sinatra’s association with the Popular Front suggests that its influence was far wider and that its repression was more comprehensive that is generally recognized. RANCIS ALBERT SINATRA was “one of the most chronicled celebrities of modern times . the focus of oceans of ink and Fmiles of film and video footage” (Kuntz, 2000, xi, 40). Indeed, Sinatra may be the most documented entertainer in history. Aside from innumerable biographies, articles, and documentaries, he has been the subject of a scholarly conference and an encyclopedia. Despite this obsession to detail the ebb and flow of the life of “The Voice from Hoboken,” relatively little attention has been paid to his brief, yet intense, involvement with the political left, which among other things caused the United States government to deny him secu- rity clearance to perform before the troops in Korea, and led to an 311 312 SCIENCE & SOCIETY extensive inquiry to determine whether he should be indicted for perjury because on his passport application he affirmed that he had never been a member of a subversive group (FBI Files 62–83219–28 and 36, 211–232, 244).

  • Sinatra's Comic”
    Starrtext.qxd 8/7/02 9:16 AM Page 30 4 CHAPTER “Sinatra's Comic” t was now 1952 and Joey was wondering if he would ever be more than a pretender to the throne. He was earning a decent living Iworking the clubs, but there had to be more. He was beginning to develop a love-hate relationship with the lifestyle—loving the money he earned (he was now up to $1,000 a week) but hating the travel and loneliness that came with the territory. “There isn’t a lonelier life in the world,” he said later. “I was always a stranger in town.” Out in Hollywood, Frank Sinatra was in the midst of his spec- tacular comeback, filming From Here to Eternity. The onetime Bobby Soxer idol had seen his career nearly destroyed, first by losing his voice and then by leaving his wife for Hollywood sexpot Ava Gardner. Sinatra’s tempestuous relationship with Gardner had alien- ated his fans, and a string of forgettable movies hadn’t helped Sinatra’s cause. But his role as the doomed Maggio in From Here to Eternity would earn Sinatra an Oscar and single-handedly resuscitate his career. Just a year before he had been performing for half-empty crowds in Vegas and begging for TV work; now, he was selling out the Paramount. It was 1942 all over again. Sinatra was unstoppable. Joey had always admired Sinatra from afar. Who didn’t? Although they had never worked together on the same bill, Joey and Frank had played some of the same clubs through the years, sometimes missing each other by a matter of days or weeks.
