March's Town Hall guest is Tom Santopietro.
Tom Santopietro's highly acclaimed third book, Sinatra in Hollywood released by St. Martin's Press/Thomas Dunne Books in November 2008, is now available in a trade paperback edition.
Sinatra in Hollywood details the brilliant, fascinating, and occasionally inexplicable film career that earned Frank Sinatra standing as one of the last legends from Hollywood's golden age, and grants Sinatra status as an actor equal to his fabled career as vocalist and recording artist. Laced throughout with Sinatra's own observations on his film work, the book deals head-on with the tumultuous marriages to Ava Gardner and Mia Farrow and directly addresses the rumors of Mob involvement in Sinatra's career.
The complete arc of Sinatra's astonishing 60 year run as an actor is traced, from his rise in musicals like Anchors Aweigh and On the Town, through his fall from grace with legendary flops like "The Kissing Bandit", to the near-mythic comeback with his Oscar winning performance in "From Here to Eternity".
Prior to becoming an author, Tom worked as a tennis pro and has spent twenty-five years as a manager of over 30 Broadway shows, including "A Few Good Men", "Jersey Boys", "Xanadu", "Master Class", "The Tale of the Allergist's Wife", "Noises Off" and "The Iceman Cometh", working along with the way with Patti LuPone, Tommy Tune, Glenn Close, Jason Robards, Valerie Harper, Michele Lee and Bea Arthur.
