I'm embarrassed I never really knew who Sinatra was until after he died...but it seems like I've known about him forever. The man is God. This day must have felt really weird.
1988 was the year in which Sinatra's masterpiece Manchurian Candidate was properly given a theatrical release after Sinatra bought the film rights years earlier and blocked its release.
@shawthingfilms The rumor is Sinatra pulled the film after the JFK assassination. Some feel that the film's "withdrawal" was unrelated to the assassination, but that it had "simply played out" by 63. While it was rarely shown after 63, it did appear on network TV. Sinatra may not have acquired rights until the late 70s which some see as evidence that he did not withdraw it for reasons of discretion, however, he could have influenced such a decision without actually holding the rights.
At the height of his conceit at this point in his career (he was 73), his brilliant talent only slightly diminished, the greatest popular singer/entertainer of the 20th century.
best interview in the world, i love it when two level headed smart people can just sit at a table and bullshit about whatever they are passionate about. great upload.
really wish i had the chance to meet this guy.

@JohnSmith88823 Sinatra? No he was a funny, charming and classy guy. He was probaly just not as energetic in his old age

Mr. Sinatra is right about pimps, whores and parasites who profit of of other people's success.
Kitty Kelley had no reason to right his unauthorized bio. Just to make a buck. Very sad.

Liotta was not the actor to perform as Sinatra: he simply didn't have the looks, the voice, nor the charisma...

Nobody has more respect for Mr. Sinatra than I. But does anyone else notice that Ol' Blue Eyes seems to have brown eyes here?

@Jarrod92694 Didn't his long-term wife write a book about her life with him though? Is that not classified as kiss and tell?

Sinatra did this interview because larry king gave kitty kelly a horrible time over the book she wrote about Frank.
this was his way to say thanks.
