Here's my last Frank trivia (not Jr. trivia, Sr. trivia):
Frank turned down the Mafia's offer to help when his son (Frank Jr.) was kidnapped.
Frank's hotel/casino, Cal-Neva, had usable underground tunnels...reportedly so gangsters could escape jurisdiction (because the tunnels went to and fro California and Nevada). His hotel also had cabins and the cabin that Frank always used and the cabin that Marilyn Monroe always used are still there. His hotel also had a helicopter landing pad. JFK frequented the hotel/casino. He sold the hotel after the underground tunnels were discovered...the police did not like the underground tunnels!
Frank was a lot kinder and more generous than people might know. He paid a lot, if not all, of Eva Gardner's hospital bills as well as Mia Farrow's.
Frank did not like one of my favorite songs, "Strangers in the Night!"
And with that, folks, I'm off! Cause for me, the best is yet to come... this weekend!
"Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum. You came along and everything started to hum. Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come!"
