This well-worn copy of Kitty Kelley’s controversial 1986 unauthorized biography of Frank Sinatra offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the life of one of the most iconic entertainers of the 20th century. Despite its flaws, the book caused a sensation upon its release, with Sinatra attempting to block its publication and distribution. Kelley’s unflinching portrayal of Sinatra’s alleged ties to the Mafia, his turbulent personal life, and his legendary ego and temper sparked outrage from the singer’s fans and family. While its accuracy has been debated, the book remains a fascinating, if problematic, account of the darker side of Sinatra’s superstardom. This ex-library copy, with its creased spine and missing dust jacket, is a well-loved artifact that bears the scars of its many readings, offering collectors a tangible piece of pop culture history that still sparks heated discussion decades after its release.
