It's not about who looks like him, it's who the most people want to
see...
THE ULMER SCALE�S TOP 10 STARS
[in studio-level movies]
Will Smith 96
Johnny Dep 95
Brad Pitt 88
Tom Hanks 87
George Clooney 86
Will Ferrell 85
Reese Witherspoon 85
Nicholas Cage 84
Leonardo DiCaprio 81
Russell Crowe 81
Most people today want to see Will Smith...he probably can play Frank
Sinatra but there might
be a problem with the color of his ...eyes.
How about Nicholas Cage? He's got blue eyes!
I mean, what teenage girl wants to see a Frank Sinatra movie?

Before I buy Di Caprio as Sinatra, I'd buy him as Frank Sinatra Jr. Or
Sammy Davis Jr. Or Shirley MacLaine.
But not as Ol' Blue Eyes.

Ellen Degeneres as Sinatra. That's my vote.

DiCaprio does have his physical demeanor and stature and facial
similarity. Both of them are light set and have a thunder to their
presence.

Did you know that Frank Sinatra was a "member" of the Mafia?

Just in 'Part 1a'..his name is listed with every well known Mafia guy...and
he commits crimes with them...the guy was a bum.

Holocaust Rememberance day April 11th is another way of saying
