DOVER, Pa., July 1 -- Supposedly related in the first
person by Marty Tanner, a close associate of Frank Sinatra, "'My Life - My
Way' - Frank 'Ol' Blue Eyes' Sinatra" (published by AuthorHouse -
http://www.authorhouse.com), the revealing new book by Ed Starkey, is more
than just a biography; it's also somewhat of a mystery. Many critics insist
that the story was written by Sinatra himself, with the stipulation that it
not be published until after his death.
"My Life - My Way" shares the intimate details of Sinatra's life in the
turbulent 1950s and '60s, offering an explosive and explicit look at one of
the most venerated entertainers of all time.
In 1950, Frank Sinatra began to take a notable plunge from the heights
of popularity, a plunge highly attributed to his affair with actress Ava
Gardner. Having successfully kept their relationship secret for two years,
its discovery by the masses created "major shockwaves," and Sinatra's
television show, personal appearances, recording sessions and movie
audience attendance suffered greatly.
His highly publicized separation and eventual divorce from wife Nancy
leads to a tempestuous two-year marriage to the ravishing Ava. While Frank
is unable to solve Ava's quintessence, he can never get over his profound,
unyielding love for her. She remains the girl of his dreams.
"My Life - My Way" goes on to track Sinatra's career resurgence with
his win of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "From Here to
Eternity." The book reveals the personal details of his ill-fated, two-year
marriage to rising star Mia Farrow, a "hippie" and "flower girl" 30 years
his junior.
Follow Sinatra on his rollercoaster ride of a life, journeying with him
as he once again travels to the top of the entertainment world, accompanied
by the infamous Rat Pack, and makes a permanent place in history for
himself as an entertainment legend.
Ed Starkey is the author of more than two dozen books of poetry and 10
novels. A co-founder of York Poets, he co-chairs a monthly writer's
critique at York's Borders Music and Books and has won numerous awards in
York's Riverwalk Arts Festival and Yorkfest contests, as well as various
Pennwriter competitions.
A widower with three children, five grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren, Starkey lives in the small town of Dover, Pa., just
north of York.
