Mr S, My Life With Frank Sinatra

0060515163.01.LZZZZZZZThis biography of Frank Sinatra, now out in paperback, sounds plenty juicy. It was written by George Jacobs, Sinatra's personal valet, who worked for Ol' Blue Eyes for 13 years, addressing him as "Mr. S."

JFK snorting lines of coke at Mr. S's house with Peter Lawford? Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich making out in Mr. S's swimming pool? Jacobs says it's all true.

From the book: "He couldn't sit still, and he couldn't be alone. Thus he always needed a girl, and she didn't have to be famous. First he'd go for his leading lady. If she wasn't free, he'd try some famous ex, like Lana Turner, whom he'd dated in the forties, for old times. Then he'd work his way down the food chain, starting with the starlets, then the hookers, and, if all else failed, he'd call Peggy Lee, who lived down the block."
