Better cigarettes than cocaine. I read somewhere that while Sammy was on drugs, Frank Sinatra wouldn't even speak to him unless he kicked it.

Yeah Frank didn't talk to Sammy for about three years. It was Sammy's wife Altavoise (sp?) that convinced the two of them to work out their differences and Frank had Sammy promise him he'll quit coke and sure enough Sammy did.

Well thank God for her. I never was really sure if they had mended fences before Sammy's death, but I'm glad to hear that she was able to get them together to settle their differences before it was too late.

They made up in 1976.

That's even better news.

Yeah one of the first times I heard of Sammy, Frank and Dean Martin was when I saw them on TV one night with Liza Minnelli, they were on some tour, I didn't know what a "Rat Pack" was then of course. Being only four, I just saw things but I knew the names.
