Dolly's Episode with Sinatra  in Japanese



Frank Sinatra in 1943

Dolly told me this story on the way back from a Jazz festival held at Yugawara three months after Sinatra passed away.

 In 1943 during the World War II, Sinatra was on the stage at Copa Cabana in New York. He was drinking behind the bar counter alone. Dolly wanted to talk to him, but she was too young to do so. She ordered a drink to a bartender:

 "The same one as him for me."

 Frank looked up and said to the bartender:
 "Give her a kid's drink."

Dolly might have been so pretty. As you see the pictures below, her smiling face has never changed!!
