The Group
“The Rat Pack” was a group of friends who met and grew close as contemporaries in the entertainment industry, and the “members” included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr. The group was legendary not only for their individual performing talents, as each of them enjoyed incredible success as singers, actors and general entertainers, but it was also famous for its lifestyle.
The Rat Pack was the “in” crowd during the 1950’s and 1960’s in Hollywood, Las Vegas and Palm Springs, and their partying and overall celebratory nature was well-documented in several ways, including the tabloids, television, film and even on-stage. Their stories and legends are still told 40-50 years later.
