They were the kings of cool! Filming all day...partying all night!
In 1960, if you were looking for the absolute definition of "cool," you would look no further than Frank Sinatra and his infamous Rat Pack- Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop- and if you wanted to find that Rat Pack, you only had to look to America's premiere city of sin, the glittering jewel of the Nevada desert... Las Vegas.
