GLAMOUR AND MOVIE STARS, with a dash of swagger, a jigger of glitz, a shot of cool. Wrap it in diamonds, slip on a tux, chill a perfect martini. It’s 1960 at the Hollywood home of Bogie and Bacall, and the Rat Pack is just about to be born. Surrounded by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Robert Mitchum, and Ava Gardner, this devilish quintet rounded out what could only be described as a block party on steroids every weekend, like the last men standing—barely. Then Vegas happened. With the silky-voiced crooners formally dubbed “The Rat Pack” on the marquee at the Sands Hotel and Casino, and voilà! The original boy band. They headlined to sold-out crowds onstage, then dazzled fans offstage with antics led by chief party boy Martin. The fun continued when movie offers started rolling in, and the Rat Packers became royalty starring in films from Ocean’s 11 to Robin and the 7 Hoods. They hit the pause button when Kennedy politics miffed Sinatra and replaced Lawford with Bing Crosby, but the standard for cool and glamour had already been set, an era frozen in time.
