frank Sinatra directed "none but the brave." that was his first and only movie directing job.

Mr. Sinatra never got over Ava Gardner.....the day that her death was announced, one of his daughters found him in his bedroom, sobbing uncontrollably.

At her graveside service, a black limousine pulled up, but no one ever got out.

The limo pulled away after the final words were spoken.

Many people always believed that Sinatra was the unseen passenger; that he could not control his emotions, and was crying in the car as she was lowered into her grave.

A very large bouquet of roses had been sent to her funeral, with the message 'All my love, Francis'.

After his death, it was discovered that he had been secretly paying her many medical bills.

when a local Tacoma boy was viciously attacked by a known sex criminal, mr. Sinatra quietly sent the child a furry toy.

Melanie Griffith married Don Johnson, TWICE----once, when she was 18, and, again, when she was 31; actress Dakota Johnson is their only child, together.

On Sam Smith's song, "Stay with Me", there is NO choir, backing him up----it is HIS voice, ONLY, recorded 40 times!!

I ADORE Sam Smith! I would give, almost ANYTHING, for that album----I'd ESPECIALLY like to have it, on VINYL; but, I wouldn't feel comfortable playing it, in my apartment----at least, not at the volume, I'd want to play it!!

john lennon recorded vocals for "revolution" lying on his back in abby road studios.

Arnold Schwarzenegger had to tone down his workout routine for Conan the Barbarian because he was so muscular that he couldn't wield a sword properly.

the blood in "psycho" was chocolate syrup which photographed better in monochrome.

Janet Leigh, star of 'Psycho', mother of Jamie Lee Curtis, ex-wife of Tony Curtis, was married to her third and last husband, Robert Brandt, for forty-two years.

She happily retired from acting to be with him, and apparently missed the Hollywood scene not at all.

He only survived her by five years.

They were both cremated, and are interred at Westwood Brothers Memorial Park, the last resting place of Marilyn Monroe.

he musta been a good man.

Old West Action = Clint Eastwood

Alan Rickman married his long-time love, Rima Horton, whom he met in graphic design school. They were married 3 years ago, but nobody knew about it, 'til this year!! As of this year, they've been together 50 years!!

I find this very interesting. I wonder why they didn't marry, BEFORE----and, I wonder why they married, NOW!! Sometimes, finally marrying has to do with getting older, and your life partner being kept out of things----like, medical care, and doctors, for instance, not respecting the relationship because one can't say "we're married".

ernest borgnine liked nothing better than to drive a motor home cross-country, interacting with people he met along the way. a decent chap.

Ernest Borgnine's marriage to Ethel Merman lasted thirty-eight days and did NOT end well.

In her autobiography, she titled a chapter 'My Marriage To Ernest Borgnine'.

It consisted of a blank page.

lee marvin studied Jungian psychology and credited it with changing his life.

Rented/leased a rooming house for her mother to manage. This kept her mother too busy to interfere with Gypsy's

life, which is what Gyspy wanted.

Her mother was a world-class pain. Gypsy knew very well that the rooming house, which was for ladies only, was a

lesbian domicile, but apparently did not know that her mother was in a serious relationship with one of the

residents.

When Gypsy visited, this woman Made a big play for her; and her mother wound up shooting and killing the woman.

The scene was staged and the police wrote the death up as a suicide.

The source?

Gypsy's son, who was told all of this by his mother.
