LIFE The Rat Pack

Summary

They weren't the original bad boys of stage and screen, but they were the most famous: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford and so many hangers-on and wannabes, male and female. Revisit the 60s in this reissue of a classic LIFE special edition and invite the Rat Pack back to town. Among the highlights: Rare and intimate photos from the great LIFE magazine photographer John Dominis; Inside the friendship between Sinatra and John F. Kennedy Jr.; The birth of Vegas and how Sin City became the sensation it is today.
