Frank Sinatra, the legendary crooner known for his sensational voice and piercing blue eyes, had an additional asset that left women swooning, according to revelations from his valet and ex-wife Ava Gardner.
The Rat Pack king’s charm extended beyond his musical talents and good looks, as he seduced a string of Hollywood starlets, from Lana Turner to Marlene Dietrich.
Friends and intimate partners have shed light on Sinatra’s impressive endowment, which contributed to his irresistible appeal.
George Jacobs, Sinatra’s valet, disclosed in his book “Mr S” that the singer required special underwear to accommodate and conceal his sizable package in public.
Gianni Russo, a close friend, tactfully confirmed, “He was well-endowed, so he didn’t leave these women wanting anything.”
Gardner, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday today, famously quipped about her then-husband, “He is only 110 pounds, but 10 pounds of it is c**k!”
leaving the reporter speechless and the men around her laughing.
The couple’s tumultuous relationship scandalized Hollywood in the 1950s, as their affair began while they were both married to other people.
Gardner had previously been wed to Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw before tying the knot with Sinatra in 1951.
Their passionate union was characterized by explosive arguments and intense lovemaking.
Nancy Venturi, a Hollywood starlet, once remarked on Sinatra’s insatiable sexual appetite, saying, “He had s** on the brain. He would make love to anyone who came along.”
The opportunities were indeed endless for the music teen idol turned major Hollywood star.
Bandleader Tommy Dorsey recalled, “He was no matinée idol. He was a skinny kid with big ears.
“Yet what he did to women was something awful.”
However, Sinatra met his match in Gardner, a Hollywood bombshell who could hold her own against his charms and temper.
James Kaplan’s Sinatra biography “Frank: The Voice” recounts a memorable moment when Gardner was watching Sinatra perform.
Mesmerized by his magic, she stood in the wings, head over heels in love.
Despite the couple’s intense connection, their marriage was plagued by constant rows and infidelities.
Actress Ruta Lee noted, “Their relationship was deeply, deeply passionate.
“She was smitten with Frank the way any woman would be.”
However, the passion that drew them together also tore them apart.
Gardner’s biographer Anthony Uzarowski revealed, “It was toxic and explosive.
Frank’s Palm Springs mansion still bears the scars of those fights.
A bottle of champagne was thrown at the sink, and a dent is still visible today.”
The couple’s trust issues and Sinatra’s womanizing ways ultimately led to their divorce in 1957.
Sinatra himself once confessed, “We’re animals, each and every one of us, that’s what we are, and we’re damn proud of it, too.
I’m just looking to make it with as many women as I can.”
His friend Gianni Russo witnessed the toll the relationship took on Sinatra, saying, “She drove him nuts, crazy.
“I spent many nights with him crying like a little kid because he loved her so much.”
Trust became a major issue, and when Gardner secretly had an abortion in London, it devastated Sinatra.
He was overheard expressing his regret and pain over what had transpired.
Following his divorce from Gardner, Sinatra had a brief marriage to Mia Farrow from 1966 to 1968 before finally finding stability with his fourth wife, Barbara, in 1976.
They remained together until his death in 1998.
While Frank Sinatra’s musical legacy and acting career continue to captivate audiences, the revelations about his extraordinary anatomy add an intriguing layer to his legendary status as a ladies’ man.
As Gardner and others have confirmed, Sinatra’s endowment played a significant role in his ability to seduce and satisfy the most beautiful women of his time.
