Houdini got his wish. He was buried in Queens, New York, in a plot he shares with his mother and other relatives.

Partly, this hard-living behaviour was fuelled by an insomniac dread of solitude and the hours of darkness. Barbara Sinatra writes: When he had finally drunk enough and was ready for bed, he’d sleep like a baby for six or seven hours straight. He’d wake up refreshed and hungry for a brunch of bacon, eggs and toast – which he ate almost every day of his life.’ The bartender asked: “Is there a problem, Mr Sinatra?” Quietly, he explained: “No, but with all this ice, I figured we’re supposed to go skating here or something. That’s not my sport.”’Recommendations for preserving the whiskey’s quality over time To preserve the integrity and quality of the Sinatra Century edition over time, it is essential to store it under proper conditions.

The author also reports that Sinatra reacted to his daughter Nancy posing nude in Playboy, by saying, “Topless I can understand. But bottomless?” I asked him several times what it was about nighttime that he feared, but he’d just reply: “I don’t like it,” as if that explained everything. He didn’t sleepwalk or suffer from nightmares; he just preferred to go to sleep after daylight. A particular favorite was a 9 1/2-inch-long whale tooth, engraved with the presidential seal by the scrimshaw artist Milton Delano. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who had commissioned the piece, gave it to her husband for Christmas in 1962, the last Christmas he’d live to see. It was buried with him in Arlington National Cemetery after his assassination the following November.

Now, he has two. To mark the Chairman of the Board’s 100th birthday on December 12, the master distiller collaborated with the Sinatra clan to create Sinatra Century, released in October. The concept is simple: “100 barrels at 100 proof for his 100th birthday.”The filming of From Here to Eternitymarked a low point, with Sinatra’s marriage to Ava Gardner collapsing and his career in trouble. By the time his plane touched down in Hawaii for the shoot at 5am, Sinatra and co-star Montgomery Clift had passed out through drink. Later, fellow actor Burt Lancaster recalled that he often had to put Sinatra, Clift and author James Jones to bed after their lengthy boozing sessions. His vocal range and the quality of his phrasing and timing was all the more remarkable, given that he never learned to read music, and endured hearing problems from birth thanks to a perforated eardrum.

Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian-American parents, the young Sinatra loved big band jazz and idolised Bing Crosby, but was expelled from high school for ‘general rowdiness’ and took jobs as a newspaper delivery boy and in a shipyard before beginning to make a living as a singer. What brand those might been doesn’t seem to have been recorded, though Burns was known to favor El Producto Queens. He explained the very practical reason behind his preference in a 1994 interview with the magazine Cigar Aficionado. The interviewer was Arthur Marx, son of another well-known cigar-chomping comedian, Groucho Marx. Upon tasting the Sinatra Century edition, the discerning connoisseur will be greeted with a symphony of flavors. Subtle hints of caramel and vanilla dance on the palate, followed by a warm embrace of toasted oak and baking spices. The long, lingering finish imparts a gentle smokiness, enhancing the overall complexity of the whiskey. It is a sensory experience that truly pays homage to the impeccable taste of Frank Sinatra himself. C. Exceptional craftsmanship and bottle design Arnett likes to think that Frank would be smiling about it, “telling everyone that he had a whiskey with his name on it and showing it to everyone.”Tiny Tim (1932-1996). Best known for his 1968 rendition of “Tip-Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me,” the ukulele-strumming falsetto singer was reportedly buried with—what else?—a ukulele and one or more tulips. If you’re gonna talk men and whiskey, you’d be a fool to leave Winston Churchill out of the discussion. Easily one of the most bad ass figures in human history, Churchill is a legend, and his penchant for whisky (booze in general, really) is a significant part of his claim to fame. When he would go to the White House, it was rumored that President Roosevelt took great joy in operating on what he called “Winston Hours.” FDR would take literal days to recover from all the action, which is probably an understatement. It also explains why Stalin seems so out of place in the pictures he took with other Allied leaders. It wasn’t the communism, it that he was never invited to their parties. If Sinatra’s musical career had its ups and downs, his personal life was a blur. Married four times – to Nancy Barbato, Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow and Barbara Marx – he is said to have had hundreds, if not thousands, of other lovers, among them Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, Judy Garland and Lana Turner. Fink also got what turned out to be the last formal interview Ol’ Blue Eyes gave to a print reporter before he died at age 82. The YouTube audio link to the interview is embedded in the e-book. Additionally, the company has been a sponsor at dozens music festivals and live events, according to Pompilio, that will continue to be the case and grow.

Fink, a former newspaper columnist, was a teenager when he sat with mobsters at a ringside table to see Sinatra perform at the famed 500 Club in Atlantic City, NJ.

Bob Marley (1945 to 1981). The reggae great is reportedly buried with his red Gibson Les Paul guitar, a Bible, and some marijuana. In his 1984 memoir, Boy, Dahl wrote that one of his happiest childhood memories involved the newly invented candy bars that the British chocolate maker Cadbury sent to his boarding school from time to time, asking Dahl and his classmates to rate them. He fantasized about working in a chocolate laboratory when he grew up and inventing a chocolate that would wow even “the great Mr. Cadbury himself.” That fantasy, he said, became the inspiration for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.Andy Warhol's grave, located at St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cemetery in a suburb of Pittsburgh.
