*Includes pictures. *Includes both men's most colorful quotes. *Discusses their relationship and the Rat Pack. *Includes bibliographies of both men for further reading. "May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine." - Frank Sinatra "If people want to think I get drunk and stay out all night, let 'em. That's how I got here, you know." - Dean Martin America has always celebrated its star entertainers, but Frank Sinatra remains a unique American legend. A pop culture fixture for over half a century, Sinatra's music is still cherished, and his persona remains its own archetype of the quintessential American star. Sinatra transcended genres to the extent that his music stands alone as its own kind of American music, with songs like "New York, New York," "Chicago," and "Come Fly With Me" instantly recognizable among all Americans. Of course, there was also the life that went with the music. The cultural identity of the Rat Pack, epitomized in the 1960 film Ocean's Eleven, further contributed to his fame, and everyone knows and appreciates the image of easy living, smooth voice and exuberant starpower that Sinatra represents. If anything, Sinatra's ability to make so many people feel happy and good about themselves was one of the main ingredients of his success. And as evidence of the fact that Americans don't mind their stars doing a little dirt, Sinatra's rap sheet and relationship with the mob are practically a celebrated part of his life. Like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin is an American legend for his longevity and success across a garden variety of different platforms. Martin began as a nightclub singer, performed in a comedy act, starred in films, recorded hit albums, and capped his career by serving as a television host. In fact, there may be no star who was better able to transcend the different avenues of entertainment. Martin's life and career are often compared to his close friend and contemporary Frank Sinatra, and for good reason. Both came from proud Italian families, both were cohorts in the famed Rat Pack in the 1960s, and they each maintained success even late in their careers. However, Sinatra's career was filled with far more ups and downs than Martin, and his public image experienced highs and lows along with it. It's also somewhat ironic that it was Martin who Anglicized his name but remained a bigger Italian icon than Sinatra. They each began their careers as Italian crooners, but Martin maintained his style while Sinatra adopted a brasher, more "All-American" singing method. Martin never strayed far from his humble background, even as he became one of America's biggest stars. Show Business Icons profiles the life and career of two of America's most famous performers. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Ol' Blue Eyes and the King of Cool like never before.
El 11 de septiembre de 1997, durante el transcurso del d a, la p gina de Internet reservada para otorgar un Tributo a Frank Sinatra, patrocinada por John Sauvageaus Omega, consigui nada menos que 10.000 visitantes, un r cord a n no superado por ning n otro artista mundial. Este dato deja bien claro que Sinatra, incluso enfermo, envejecido y reposando sobre una cama de un hospital, era capaz de mover los sentimientos de miles de personas de todo el mundo. Tristemente, yo nunca he entrevistado a Frank Sinatra y solamente pude verle en directo durante el concierto que dio en Madrid en el Santiago Bernab u, aunque aqu l d a no consegu entradas de pista y tuve que observarle desde casi cien metros de distancia, en una grada situada en lo m s alto del estadio y desde donde apenas si lograba verle. Afortunadamente, su m sica llegaba con facilidad. Siempre he mantenido un gran respeto por l y aunque a lo largo de su vida ha recibido multitud de homenajes (recuerdo especialmente el "Feliz cumplea os, Franky" en su 80 aniversario), estimo que esta idea de poner una p gina en Internet es el mejor de todos los homenajes, ya que al menos pueden participar directamente todos sus admiradores mundiales y no reservarlo solamente para los norteamericanos. Es dif cil encontrar un hombre con tanta personalidad en el mundo de la m sica y quienes han estado entre el auditorio del Palace Caesar en Las Vegas y han podido disfrutar de un concierto suyo en directo, se han convertido invariablemente en sus admiradores de por vida. Pero al lado de tantos millones de personas que le admiran, est n quienes siempre han tratado de desprestigiarle y hablar mal de l con el nico fin de conseguir dinero con un falso y denigrante reportaje. Que una persona, p blica o privada, haya podido cometer a lo largo de su vida alg n desatino, no es motivo para sacarlo en las portadas de una revista. Por eso era imprescindible la elaboraci n de una biograf a sobre Frank Sinatra que fuera real y que de una manera digna contase a sus admiradores y a los que a n ir n llegando, c mo era uno de los m s grandes mitos del cine y la m sica. No espere el lector, por tanto, ning n desacato hacia l o su familia, y en su lugar encontrar respeto para alguien que ya est en la historia del arte con letras may sculas. Escuchar cualquiera de sus canciones es sentir alg n tipo de emoci n, pero, adem s, y gracias a su perfecta vocalizaci n, se puede escuchar cada palabra que canta y esto es digno de observar ya que todas sus canciones est n adornadas de una letra po tica. Ambas cosas, letra y m sica, m s otras que seguiremos mencionando despu s, le dan una categor a nica. Hay quien piensa que estamos hablando de un cantante que enamora a jovencitas por sus bellos ojos, m s que por su voz, pero obviamente despu s de cumplir los 82 a os, no es posible pensar una cosa as . Pregunte a cualquier fan, hombre o mujer, y nadie se referir a l como el hombre de los ojos azules que enamora a las mujeres. Hablar n siempre del Se or Sinatra, y esto es especialmente aleccionador cuando el nombre lo emplea un joven que acaba de descubrir casi por casualidad que existe un cantante norteamericano que tiene una forma de cantar nica, que traspasa los gustos de la edad y puede seguir llegando al coraz n de millones de personas. Cuando su hija Nancy Sinatra se enter de la p gina Web de Internet dedicada a darle un nuevo tributo mundial coment "Este tributo es como una madre dando a luz y veo que todav a hay miles de personas que le aman. He hecho llegar la noticia a Frank, el cual est sumamente conmovido por este homenaje tan espont neo y multitudinario que le han hecho. Veo que el aplauso de sus fans sigue siendo igual de fuerte que antes".
America’s most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, was born in 1867 in the rolling hills of Richland Center, Wisconsin, to a family of Unitarians and Quakers. Even with world-class commissions like New York City’s Guggenheim Museum, his organic architecture remains rooted in Wisconsin’s landscape, from affordable-housing prototypes in Milwaukee to his summer home and architecture school in rural Spring Green. This comprehensive guide to Wright’s designs (and those of his protégés) that are open to the public—as well as insider historical information about sites now demolished, and those available for “drive-bys” only—is for the architecture or history fan looking for tours, overnight stays or creative inspiration. Museum collections in Wisconsin that include Wright’s furnishings and drawings are also included.

Frank Mildmay is a rogue and a rascal who cuts a memorable swath as he moves up the ranks of the early nineteenth-century Royal Navy. Whether seducing pretty girls ashore, braving hurricanes at sea, or scrambling aboard a French privateer with cutlass bared, Mildmay and his adventures live on!
At one time Ring Lardner’s baseball articles reached millions of readers through hundreds of newspapers throughout America, and admirers of his writing included F. Scott Fitzgerald and Edmond Wilson. He was as familiar to Americans in the 1920s as Charles Lindbergh, Calvin Coolidge, and Babe Ruth. His articles about the players he knew, his World Series coverage, his poems, parodies, and jokes were unlike any other baseball reporting ever written, both in his time and since. Even a hundred years later, Lardner’s baseball journalism makes for delightful, often wildly funny, reading and offers a glimpse of where his ground-breaking baseball fiction came from. This book contain Lardner’s columns about Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Casey Stengel, and Three-Finger Mordecai Brown as well as some fabulous lesser-known characters like Frank Schulte, Heine Zimmerman, Jim Schekard, Johnny Kling, Rollie Zeider, and Peaches Graham, as well as examples of Lardner’s coverage of a number of World Series—including the notorious 1919 Black Sox Series. Ron Rapoport’s introduction puts Lardner in his time and place and explains how his writing about baseball developed over the years.
