Henry Leutwyler: Hi there!

So as we peer into Frank Sinatraª¡s (1915ª¤98) private pocket phone book from what today seems like the quaintness of the analogue 1970s, we can reliably know Sinatraª¡s circle and speculate on the meaning of those relationships. The over 100 names and numbers here include direct lines to Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Spiro Agnew, Barry Goldwater and other important governmental figures. With connections to American businessmen Walter Annenberg, Laurance Rockefeller, Marvin Davis and John Kluge (at the time reputedly the richest person in the country), Sinatra knew just how to tap into capital. And among his fellow artists who were just a phone call away were Dean Martin, Gregory Peck, Roger Moore, Jerry Lewis and Buddy Rich. We even learn the names of Sinatraª¡s doctors and dentistsª¢no doubt the best in their profession for Olª¡ Blue Eyes.
