Frank Sinatra was, is and always will be my favorite male singer, and one of my favorite film stars. Simply I grew up listening to him, watching him and fantasizing a lot what it must be like to be born with such charisma ands talent. Growing up a son of a Sinatra fan, from his earliest days. My father actually saw him perform at one of his famous concerts with Tommy Dorsey at The Paramount Theatre in New York in the 1940's. There is nothing better then sitting back and listening to Old Blue Eyes singing a Gershwin or Cole Porter song. Some of my favorite times of my life have been watching High Society, Pal Joey, A Hole in the Head, or The Joker's Wild. And thats not even discussing his dramatic turns including his Oscar winning turn in From Here to Eternity.
In regards to the art, I decided to try to capture him during his A Hole in The Head phase. Personally it may be my favorite film role of his. Probably because of the Amusement park idea in Florida, showcased here before Disney did it and of course, because of Eddie Hodges, who played Franks' son in the film. For once I could fantasize that Frankie was my dad. And of course because of the classic song from the film, High Hopes.
